| It is difficult to conceive of knowing absolutely nothing these days. But I do believe you have to be receive information in some way.

Derek Jeter - Baseball Superstar
Social Skills wise although he certainly has hyperfocus. How does one be in public eye constantly for 20 years in today's world and never get in a scandal or seemingly say the wrong thing? That is a feat 99% of NT's could not come close to accomplishing. |
