This model provides an integrated, holistic view and demonstrates how
many established theories support and fit into this four quadrant model.
Although psychological type is related to preferences and expressed
strengths in tasks, the view espoused here is that type should be used to
develop a holistic pedagogy that allows these preferences and strengths to
flourish, and encourages growth and exploration in areas of weakness.
This four quadrant model of holistic education provides direct educational
work in life and work related skill outcomes, including creativity,
innovation, producing new knowledge, problem-solving, emotional skills,
as well as hands-on knowledge, fact-based learning, analysis and synthesis
of information, and integration of theory.
