Quantitative based

Can someone provide insight into the spectrum of trading: from most quantitatively focused to least "". Can someone without a quant heavy background become a successful trader? I would imagine that anyone with a solid understaning of capital markets and financial analysis experience could trade (not necessarily successfully)in a long/short equity fund? Would I be correct in my assumption? Thanks for any help.
