First of all, the term ‘Battered’ implies consent… one is battered about in a storm because they failed to protect.
Battered Women are Beaten Women. The intent is ‘throwing under the bus’, an act of destruction with far reaching consequences
Very early on, a beaten woman or child will develop a need to prevent the attack. They begin by watching for large signs and eventually for clues. Finally, they perfect a background system which, within split seconds, assesses potential danger. Because these additional skills are a survival mechanism, they become embedded forever into her consciousness.
Every minute and forever, this risk assessment runs in the background, constant and with blinding speed looking for deviance from normal and it can be translated into workforce benefit. In healthcare, it rapidly assesses minute changes in the patient. In software testing it quickly finds problems. As inspector it, with hair standing on end, recognizes risk. The skill eliminates truncated thinking allowing for problem solving until the fundamental base of the problem is achieved.
