A Nigerian engineer may have much in common with a Japanese engineer than with a Nigerian peasant. I'm not saying that engineers as a group are particularly WIERD, as WIERD people are appearing in all places on the globe.

I would not be surprised to learn that engineers do tend to be WIERD.  Engineers tend to be literate, educated and urban.  Farmers would tend to be more tribal and rural.
