I’m not sure if that pattern continues (there’s a tower law in there after stage 5, I think). My data suggests ‘achievers’ inhabit the odd-numbered stages; ‘thinkers’ and ‘feelers’ inhabit the even-numbered ones.
Make sense?



interesting… why ‘intelligence’ and not ‘maturity’ or smth?
:)
sorry, that was me up there…computer sharing issues.
Well, you could argue maturity is an increasing function of intelligence or that there’s a correlation there, but maturity is more subjective than intelligence.
I think I’ve mentioned before that I think of ‘maturity’ (as commonly understood) as conformity, predictability and, quite often, mediocrity. And that can occur through intelligence and self-discipline or stupidity and hesitance/self-consciousness.
