Do not do well on highly structured challenging open-ended tasks, good at least structured technical problems. Problem Solvers Problem solvers are low differentiators and remote associators, the type opposite to probem finders in Gordon's typology. Problem solvers prefer the traditional way of teaching, prefer structured courses and theoretical consistency. They are effective at well defined prestructured problems. They excel in a well-defined field, are confused in immature fields.
Groups consisting solely of problem solvers are one of the least harmonious and perform badly.
Implementors Implementors lack both remote assosiation and high differentiation, which does not imply that they are not intelligent. Implementors have logic, rigor, and persistence. Most of the implementors like rasing real-world social issues, integrating materials thematically, increasing material relevance. They gravitate towards structured problems and structured courses, at least implementors perform far better on structured problems than on ill-structured ones. They do well on open-ended problems.
