A month ago at work I had to replace the regulator inside an Elkay water fountain. I tore it apart and got the new regulator in which prevented the leak. To put together this 20 year old water fountain, which had been repaired before, was difficult because it had been repaired and not been reassembled to OEM standards, by a maintenance technician, several years earlier.
I was stumped to I asked for the forklift mechanic to come take a gander. He is very skilled. He played with the interlocking triple panels, and we had it together and working in less than 20 minutes.
He is an ISTJ, and sees patterns and the logic controlling a device's engineering, far quicker than I do.
He is more mechanical than I, and I am not naturally mechanical, and must over study and overmaster repairs to make device work and be put back in service.
I was thinking about his quickness and mechanical sureness. It is obvious that he is naturally gifted at being able to repair just about anything, and uncovering the way that a thing works and is put together.
His knowledge of mechanical systems transfers into an area of nonexpertise for him, and his quick eye soon discovers how a thing operates, so his knowledge is transferable, but his knack and skill at deciphering mechanical puzzles out of a pile of jumbled parts is also transferable. He transfers his logic of how things work in the physical world.
By quickly uncovering how a device works, he can then proceed to assemble it, pinpoint the defective part, replace or repair what is broken, and the complete the thing, getting it working once again.
Analogously, if a individuator became very accomplished as a pianist, and then decided to do herbal research on herbs and wild plants to uncover the one ingredient that would gently neutralize sugar in the system of a diabetic, he should be able to morph into a productive, pioneering medicinal researcher faster and better than a nonindividuator out to do great things as a medical researcher.
