Originally Posted By friendofdd I do well at grandparenting. Being respectful to others and treating them with kindness is something I've practiced a long time and I'm getting pretty good at it. I can easily speak in public.
Originally Posted By peeaanuut man I wish I could do the public speaking thing. When I have to get up in front of people and I know the attention is on me, I freeze. That happened to me in sports as well.

Originally Posted By avromark I excel at underachieving and being average. I excel at standing out from the crowd.

Originally Posted By sherrytodd I'm really good at completing a large amount of work quickly. It doesn't matter what, I'll usually finish in half the time it takes everyone else. I'm especially good at finishing tests quickly. When I took the Series 7 test it was supposed to be an all day test. I finished the first half in an hour and 15 minutes. When I went up to the proctor they were shocked. They asked if I wanted to take a break till after lunch, I said "No I'd rather take the second half." I finished it before everyone else had finished the first half. And yes I passed with flying colors. I think I just have really good instincts when I approach problems and I always go with my first thought or approach and am able to quickly visualize a lot of information and organize it in my mind. You'd think this would make me really productive, but no, I have to jump between three or four things a day to keep me going. It's very difficult for me to spend a whole day focusing on one thing. The only way I can keep working on something exclusively is to have something happening in the background like a radio show or a movie. Guess that's why I'm in LP so much.
Originally Posted By Mrs ElderP For me, I can read fairly fast, and retain extremely well... a good skill for school. I finished Harry Potter 7 in a bit less than 5 hours (reading straight through). Following that I can read and follow written directions fairly well. I get myself in trouble because I always think that I can do just about anything, just get me the manual. Second, I'm very good at being non-threating You have to work very very hard not to get along with me. I'm very aproachable, and I frequently get strangers (usually other women) asking me for help (i.e. Where is the restroom) or they aproach me about the slogan on my shirt or whatever. I can wear one of my husbands funny fingerprint shirts and get 10 to 15 comments on it a day from strangers. ElderP will wear the same shirt and no one will say anything to him. I guess I just look like the very definition of "that nice lady".

I do agree why waste time, if you took all day you probably would have had similar results.
