Anything math related, Calculus was cake.

My neighbors referred to me as the human scoreboard starting at age 4.

Pics or it didn't happen, eh? Well, too late for that - can't arch my back that far any more.

Everyone believes the eidetic memory and the numbers geeks, but let a gal claim a little flexibilty...sheesh!

Try this: sit on the floor. Place the bottoms of your feet together. Now draw your heels in toward your body, and flatten your knees to touch the ground. Good luck!

ps...I can still do that one...without using my hands...

:ptongue:
I could until a couple years ago -- but had to use my hands. 12 years of tae kwon do can get you pretty limber.

I can usually tell you what time it is, within 5 minutes -- I don't wear a watch. I can also do a lot of elevated knuckle push-ups and crunches. See above post.

Probably reading people and how they feel about a situation. Maybe that's not hard for everyone, but it sure feels like my husband and some of my family can't pick up on when someone feels left out/angry/shy/whatever.


I'm good with numbers, too. Not in a math way (sadly), but in remembering them way. I used to be called the walking computer on our farm due to my useful ability to recall birth dates, sire numbers, calf ids, etc., off hand. It has translated well to my current job.

I am particularly good at doing my best work in crunch time. No matter if its studying for a test or finishing a report I always do my best work when I have little time to do it. I really hate that I am this way but being a life long procrastinator has forced me to develop this ability...

Other notable things I am good at…
-Get along really well with older people and have a lot of older friends, and they get along with me.
-I have a certain "charm" with about every professor I have had. A good amount of them have told me to use them as a reference when I graduate.

And not something I would say I am extremely proud of, but almost every homosexual man I have ever met has either had a big crush on me or thought I was attractive… I have no idea why this is and I am not homosexual but there is just something about me that gay guys like...

Thanks. I could also lean forward and touch my nose to the floor at the same time.

Yup. Our hs gym teacher used the position as a stretching exercise. Most of the girls couldn't get their knees to the floor even pushing down with their hands. It used to really po this one gal (a rival of sorts) when I would lay forward and rest my head on my crossed arms on the floor when her knees wouldn't break a 45 degree angle. It was a tiny victory for me...she beat me out at dang near everything else. :)

I wouldn't say this is difficult for most people, but spelling. When I was in elementary school I almost never misspelled words on the regular spelling quizzes/tests we had. When I type something up in Word usually the only words I 'misspell' are people's last names.

I can read maps, know directions, and get around anywhere without GPS and other aides. I can go somewhere once and remember the street layout for years and years.

Also this.

That and that and I am huge grammar freak. I always use proper grammar in public or will correct someone when they speak with poor grammar
