In play
Insightful Thinker: learning rises by 4 and monthly learning lifestyle experience rises by 20%. This is the second learning education. The skill and the lifestyle experience are the reason to keep the child on that focus. A matching culture or faith can add further bonuses. Those bonuses are not part of the base list.
How to get Insightful Thinker
- Gain: Insightful Thinker is rank 2 of the Learning education. It is granted at 16 when the child's Learning education score lands between 8 and 12. Each year from age 6 the child rolls for 2 points, so this is about four to six successful years. A Curious child matches both Learning and Diplomacy, while a Rowdy child is penalised on this focus.
- Remove or lose: Permanent, but it can climb: the University Visit activity rolls for a rank increase at the end of the visit, and a spouse councillor's tutoring event can raise it a rank on a critical success.
Better odds on the yearly roll come from the guardian's Learning skill, intelligence traits on the child or guardian, and a Pensive or Curious childhood trait. A court tutor, sending the child to a university (a paid interaction that needs a university in the guardian's realm) and the second Kin dynasty legacy add points around the 16th birthday.
