The World Needs All Kinds of Minds - Some people are good at art, others are good at math. Another area where many people are talented is writing. I am an extreme visual thinker and words narrate the pictures in my imagination. Visual thinking is a big asset for artists, mechanics, and graphic designers. Research has shown that there are two kinds of visual thinking. They are "object visualizers" such as me and mathematical "visual spatial" thinkers who think in patterns. The different kinds of minds have skills that complement each other. People who have difficulty in school or they have autism, ADHD or dyslexia often have uneven skills. Educators need to spend more time helping students to develop their strengths into good careers.
