As for having trouble in school, which is OT...

My personal belief is that schools were designed by and for SJs (reliable, highly organized types). NTs, who are scholarly, can fit in. But, the highly active SP types like to be moving and doing, all the time. In a hunter-gatherer society, they would be chasing game, making tools, scouting for the tribe, etc., but they simply aren't suited to sitting still. I think a lot of SJ kids (especially boys) are drugged, nowadays, to get them to sit still, in school. Can they focus and learn, this way? What do you think?
