I can't speak for any of these people, but I've been both a writer and an artist all my adult life.
It's not that I have an artistic temperament so much as that when I'm in a creating mode the last thing in the world I want is to be disturbed. I simply don't like interruption when I'm painting and have been known to be a little crass, a little rude, to whoever is interrupting the work (be it a neighbor or someone calling on the phone, etc.). To a lessor degree the same goes with the writing.

Yes, look at Van Gogh Starry Night Oil Painting to see an artistic temperament first hand...

Artists are trained to be emotional and to respond from the heart. That oftens means unleashing the demons! So yes, artistic temperament is not only present but also necessary.

If that is so, then there must be a math and science temperament. Anyone engaged in deep thought likely will be irritated by interruptions and seem moody to others. The brooding is essential to introspection, perception and reception.

Definitely. You should be an artist yourself to ask this question. I think your are the best person to answer this from experience.
