Super World Class Smart

In a thread in SMP Sklansky said the following:

[ QUOTE ]

Only in some very specialized endeavors do I consider myself super world class smart. Such as teaching moderately intelligent eight year olds to do word problems that require quadratic equations. I'm also more likely to come up with clever shortcuts or creative analogies regarding certain types of problems, than most of those people who are a little smarter than me.

It most likely would be something very specific as above for obvious reasons. For example I would never consider saying "doing physics" or "teaching" or even "teaching children gymnastics" despite considering myself to be very good or excellent at all of those things.

So, is there something at which you consider yourself to be world class and why?

(David what, if any, are the others for you?)

I wish I were world class at something but I suspect that my answer is the same as just about everyone else's here: I'm just not

I am really [censored] good at pin the tail on the donkey. I get lost easy driving, dont have a good sense of direction, but you can spin me and move me and I just keep track of how far Ive moved and where that [censored] donkey is.

what combination of things are good to be very good (not necessarily world class good) at?

I suppose poker. Of course I guess you need to define world class. But it certainly is the only thing I'm naturally good at.

ability to sleep in huge variety of conditions. this feels like some kind of elementary school thing about how everyone is special in their own way, but where most really aren't and just have to bs something like i just did.

I don't know if I'd necessarily consider myself "world class smart" at anything because I'm pretty much 99% sure that at any endeavor, regardless of how good I might be, someone somewhere is much better than I am.

ability to dislike and hate a person for the smallest thing.
