People's brains are often oriented toward either language or math ability. But there's a different sort of intelligence that might be overlooked in school. It's the talent for thinking and visualizing in terms of physical shape, size, direction, location of objects.
It's called "spatial reasoning." Maybe if schools offered more spatial training, more people with this sort of intelligence could be channeled into occupations where they can excel. That's satisfaction for the individual, and we as a society need their talent.
Northwestern University is testing a modified Mine Craft video game for this.
