Different Dr. Helen :) I research dyslexia, human evolution and collaboration :)

There's lots more.. If you're actually interested it'd be interesting to chat. I've studied it in entrepreneurs to understand it in the context of team dynamics, but written quite extensively about it more generally (in terms of the cog neuroscience evidence and evolutionary explanation).

They also have and aptitude for understanding complex systems dynamics - the fundamental patterns and how such systems change over time and will be driven to get to the truth/fundamental answer. They tend to be more emotionally sensitive and very good at perspective taking.

You're talking about more global exploratory learning. I study it from an evolutionary and cognitive neuroscience perspective. It's a cognitive specialisation that works in concert with other learning strategies to increase our ability to problem solve and adapt as a species.
