B-Work only for Creatives and Intellectuals?

Hi Everyone,
I have got a question to all of you: I've got the feeling that most of the people that join the B-society are people working in creative or intellectual jobs, often freelance.
I wonder if my thought is right? Is there anyone who can disprove my assumption? Any bank directors, secretaries or other people working in the 9-to-17-rhythm, but not feeling at ease?

B-persons are more creative? Not necessarily
fadrina, good point and question. To Josefine, we are actually working on a study on the current demography of B-persons, and it is already getting pretty interesting results.
What is usually the case, is that most B-persons who feel "misunderstood", are those who have probably actively searched out a job, where they feel more accepted, such as flexible jobs, which are most commonly in the creative sectors. If there were more flexible jobs in all sectors, I think we would be seeing a better spread of B-persons altogether..

B-Work as a mind shift?
Yes, the first impression might be that the B-society and B-Work adresses more creative or intellectual people. But I think times are changing and the need for more time flexibility is an issue for different levels of people.I think it's time for a mind shift.
Creative B here
I'm B and very creative - especially at night when everyone is asleep. ;-)
Of my two friends, one is a creative B-person and the other a creative A-person.
Creative persons being A-persons
I haven't known anybody who's got more right-brained jobs being B persons, but I have known creative / intellectual persons who are A. A former coworker, an art historian and critic at the Contemporary Art Museum of my city, was a very extreme A person ;)
