I believe all children of school age eight plus should have laptops to do their school work on. Typing isn't as extroverted an activity as writing so this would be especially good for introverts but benefit extroverts as well. It is possible to remain in deeper thought whilst typing than writing because you can type automatically knowing where the keys are, hence not as extroverted an activity as manually writing. You can also work at least three times faster in type than word. A basic laptop equates well in value , no paper fees over the sum of a school life plus less trees felled (Good news for the planet). I used to struggle at school to get enough writing done over the course of the lesson and my son who is a clever INTJ used to unbelievably struggle with writing although he is well above average intelligence. When he was four years old he could play and finish games on his game console designed for twelve year + . You cannot write without fully focusing your attention on the pen and it's relation to the paper, this isn't such a problem in type. I realise a certain amount of focus goes into typing but you need more external focus to write. The problem is the school education system will automatically expect more word output per lesson if schools went into type, this is a mistake. Introverts especially want time to think, which would improve the quality of their work. The whole school system is designed around the wants and needs and pace of extroverted thinkers being in the majority. Einstein is a typical example of someone who could not make the best out of the school education system and this happens to many introverts including myself. Plus you cannot proof or adapt the language of your written work like you can in type. I definitely think moving away from paper onto laptops is the way forward. A plug adapter would have to designed to run in rows for children to plug into but I am sure technology can deal with that.
Do you agree or disagree?
Are Typology and INTP the only Centrals. I though INTJ's had their own site but all I found was a webpage with descriptions of the type but no siite. Are their any other Centrals?
