Are most accountants very cold and boring?
I know this is a generalisation and of course not all accountants are like this but I'm interested in opinions.

Answer 2 :
NO.
Answer 3 :
Cold, no. That makes an assumption about personality that is more variant in accountants. They are not all introverts, anti-social, or disinterested in human emotion. Many are the opposite -- extroverts, party animals, and emotional. Boring, perhaps. On the other hand, the kind of mind that leads someone to be an accountant, especially a good accountant, is likely to strike large groups of people with opposite interests as "boring." But, might I add as someone on the finance/accountant/numbers side of the street, I have met more than my fair share of artists who were cold & ridiculous and salesmen who were warm & boring.
Answer 4 :
Hah! I expect a large percentage are because vanilla accountancy is VERY BORING. But not all accountants do plain accounting. My mate just got back from Cannes film fesitival (film finance), drives a Nissan 370Z etc. etc.
