> I’ve seen people focus intently for hours to complete a task that would most take others on the team a few minutes, and not for lack of knowledge or training; their brain simply worked at a much slower speed. You do have to be somewhat careful about this. While there are people who do genuinely have the problem you describe without mitigating factors, I have seen people who superficially fit this description to a T—but whose rate of errors is far below those who appear to do the same work faster. Sometimes, "slower thinking" is much more effective at getting the job done right than a fast-thinking "cowboy" approach.
