Just for kicks and giggles here are my own totally unscientifically researched unlearning styles:<\/p>\n

Replacers<\/span>
Replacers simply replace the old with the new, forgetting and importing. This is actually very rare.<\/p>\n

Destroyer<\/span>s
Destroyers take old models kick them in the head and torture them to death. Having a destroyer as a delegate\/student can be challenging for all concerned. They are committed to truth but risk damaging relationships in the process.<\/p>\n

Dismantler<\/span>s
Dismantlers are more careful and considered than destroyers, examining and taking old ideas apart carefully bit y bit (this can be frustratingly slow and hyper-rational).<\/p>\n

Cloaker<\/span>s
Cloakers don’t really unlearn at all, but rather make their old knowledge look like something new to please or fit a trend. Because underlying beliefs remain the same everyone is wasting their time with cloaking.<\/p>\n

Transformer<\/span>s
Transformers are not only robots in disguise but learners who develop old ideas into new ones. This is common and healthy enough, the only downside being when a paradigm shift is needed.<\/p>\n

I know that many teachers, trainers and coaches read this blog – what distinctions would you add?
