Spot one Easily - They are Detail Oriented but unable to grasp Concepts

In the late 1800's Spaths were referred to as being "Morally Insane." Able to see that certain specific behaviors were wrong, but unable to grasp the fact that the entire group of behaviors that the specific behavior belonged to was bad.
Morals are Concepts.
Spaths are Detail oriented. However they cannot "connect the dots" to be able to grasp a concept the details point to.

The only way I can explain this is to make an example...

Little Johnny goes down the street and steals a Light Bulb from someone.
Little Johnny gets caught and is punished. His parents think they have taught him that stealing is wrong. However, Little Johnny only learns that it is wrong to steal a Light Bulb.
Later, Little Johnny steals a bicycle, and gets caught and punished again.His parents try to explain that.taking anything that does not belong to you is stealing and is wrong. However all Little Johnny has learned is that stealing a Light Bulb or a Bicycle is wrong. He is unable to grasp the Concept that Stealing is wrong.

I talked to a friend of mine that is a first grade teacher and she say's she has a sure fire test (one for females and one for males). She said she has been using it for most of the 45 years she has been teaching. She states that every student that has been "marked" by the test and that she's been able to follow into adulthood has exhibited the same "Morally Insane" behavior. By the way her Husband is a Psych.
They are simple tests. In the absence of other learning disabilities, for females in grades 1 or 2 it's a simple word association test. For males in grade 1, it's a simple arithmetic test. 1+1=2 and 2+2=4, so 1+1+1+1=?. If they don't immediately grasp that concept, the first two (1+1=2 and 2+2=4) are reviewed. If they still have trouble they are "Marked." She say's it's only "Marked" 8 boys in her 45 years teaching, and she's been able to follow 4 into adulthood. All 4 have had problems in High School, and one bad relationship after another. Of the other 4, she is aware that two of them have served time in jail for domestic violence. I can't believe that it could be that simple, but then, if we could keep our eyes open, it probably is. I asked her and how fool proof she thought it was and her reply was something like...It may have missed some, but it didn't mark one incorrectly. She said it just points out that Spaths can't grasp concepts. They literally learn by rote memory, but are unable to think with what they know.
