The careful, conscientious person is usually also the slow
person. And this person is grossly wronged by our society. He
is a member of a minority group that is a target of continual
bias, prejudice and discrimination. He is generally viewed as
a slow learner, of a lower "IQ" than others, and treated as
mentally inferior. He is penalized and discriminated against
through the use of time tests in school. He is penalized in
the workplace by bosses who want speed and quantity and have no
patience with slow workers. And all these attitudes and biases
produce complexes and stresses in him. They produce
insecurity, anti-social attitudes, anger, resentment, and many
other things. He is the target of gross social injustice and
his emotional response is the natural one. Regarded as
inferior by society he can either accept that judgment or he
can defiantly refuse to accept it. There are mental and
emotional quagmires associated with either response.
