convergers
Those meeting midpoint
Convergers are people or things that move toward a common point or come together from different directions.
In educational psychology, a converger is someone who excels at practical application of ideas and prefers dealing with technical problems over social issues—the opposite of a diverger.
The term appears in discussions of learning styles, traffic patterns, and any context where multiple elements are heading toward intersection.
The convergers from both highways created a bottleneck at the interchange.
