I'm going to be incredibly unscientific here.

I think it depends on how well a person is able to translate intelligence into writing. Taking myself as an example: I am extremely bad at the written form - my intelligence significantly drops as soon as pen touches paper. However, I don't suffer this penalty with typing. It might have something to do with this:

> Some say that because we write slower than we type, it allows for deeper thinking as opposed to faster thinking

I would say that I'm a subconscious thinker, I draw conclusions and don't always know why. I would rather rephrase that to:

> Some say that because we write slower than we type, it allows for deeper thinking as opposed to fluid thinking

Handwriting is better for deep thinkers, typing is better for fluid thinkers. To each his own. Maybe where you are going with this is that people aren't handwriting when they should be: I could really agree with that.
