I have noticed many young ones and fives in college already
need glasses and/or contacts.
Ones it seems are often strongly driven to take schoolwork
seriously and often graduate high school in the top ten of
their class. Many extend this drive to college. They do
most everything 'perfectly' and are very independant and become
involved in church or charity organizations. Female ones often
are musicians, playing traditional instruments like violin and
flute, trumpet in a marching band or folk group.
Fives it seems excell in a subject insofar as it holds their
interests. Ones strive to make everything perfectly and to please
the teacher whereas fives focus on one subject often to the exclusion
of another. Fives get more involved with solitary activities like
computer games, D&D and the like. Some may call these 'geek'
activities.
Note on high achieving threes - these are the class and lab. networkers.
Smoothly getting information from peers and at times not above cheating. At any rate it seems likely that intensified intellectual and scholastic
pursuits are hard on the eyes. Hours of reading and staring at the
monitors. I am no specialist on vision loss, and there is probably a
genetic component, but overall there does seem a pattern between high
academia and vision loss. Also it was written somewhere that TYPE FIXATION manifests itself most
strongly in the late teens and early twenties. Does this seem on the
mark in peoples experience? I say yes.
