Are you a math (maths, for the UK peeps) person, a words person, a visual person, some combination of the above, good at all of them, or something else entirely?
Reading @ForteKitty and @yssie's showstopping replies in the perfect OEC thread made me think about this.
I can write basically anything, impose order, grammar and narrative thread on basically anything, spell basically anything off the top of my head. But I'm hopeless at anything with numbers, to the point that I'm convinced I have some kind of mathematical dyslexia. If you show me a math problem, I will think I'm following along, but then not be able to repeat it myself. Weirdly, I'm ok at logic of the kind they give you on LSATs and GREs, but if you were to insert numbers instead of words, I'd fall at the first hurdle.
What do you consider yourself?
