I feel im with intishar on this too. I don't think there's any benefit being a slow learner. Maybe taking time to do tasks and checking back and proofreading etc is good to be slower but I don't think that applies to learning.

If someone is able to absorb the same knowledge but at a faster speed, the fast learner is actually better. Like people are looking for those that can step up and get good you know. you see competitions like Hell's kitchen master chef. There's no time for slow learners. You gotta learn fast and prove yourself or you get booted out.

It's also hard to say slow learners. Sometimes people have a unique way at perceiving things like a mental disablity etc. There's a lot of autism people that are super good at something like maths etc.

Anyways what I'm trying to say is there's a lot of factors that play into being successful and I don't think being a slow learner actually makes that much of an impact.

I feel a more accurate way to say is people that take time to plan out and do things slowly are more likely to succeed and yes i can agree to that as people with plans usually do better than those that are just yoloing. plans take time! Of course it's not always but I want to say most of the time those that have a plan are going to execute while those that don't are pretty much coinflipping
