Unfortunately fully formal thinkers (Theoretical thinkers?)
usually do not
realize that what seems easy to them is difficult to others
who lack these
methods of thinking. However it is possible to have students
develop these
ways of thinking, but it requires substantial effort and an
extended time.
Arons points out that up to 85% of adults seem to capable of
becoming formal
thinkers, but sadly only 30% achieve it in our society. As a
result I would
put most to be at most 30%.
