I do know what you mean about pitting them against each other. But they strive to be "useful" and it is clearly acknowledged that the different engines have different skills and areas of expertise. Striving to be acknowledged as a contributing member of your community isn't so bad. Striving to make your boss happy (or parent or teacher) is OK too as long as you are sure that what makes them happy is also morally right.
I took ds7 to ballet when he was 3.5 and becoming reluctant to try new things. It was great because he was the only boy and the girls were more compliant - at gym there were always at least two boys off task or misbehaving.
