I have the directional sense of a pigeon with a magnet strapped to its forehead. The wierdest thing is that I never get lost on the way to the fridge.....

Which way round would the magnet be?

Does it mean that your sense of direction is good or bad?


Dunno but when I used the north side I started speaking with a Scottish accent.


If you live in Scotland it is good. Yes?


That's the problem, I don't. In the end we had to use an electromagnet to correct it but the thing keeps swinging so one minute I'm speaking normal the next in Welsh.

It could also be to do with the fact I'm loony but I blame the magnet instead. It keeps following me.....

I have a very bad sense of direction but I always thought it was due to my dyslexia, poor memory, ADD, bad vision, & problems processing things I do see visually sometimes(I have that face blindness disorder). I pretty much stick to going to the same few places & walking the same route when I go out on my own.

I have a good sense of direction. Enough to track and find some places most people gets confused finding.
Mostly spatial than visual, having some techniques made by myself by basing a guide or place or myself as a 'north' of sorts.
Better if I understood any instructions involved. I still suck at names and interpreting verbal instructions though.


This doesn't mean I never got lost and got separated.
It's just my desire to afford the trait of wandering off alone without worry and being independent is so strong, any fear or worry of getting lost few times as a child and going to unknown places doesn't deter me.

I'm more worried about others being worried than being displaced myself.
Either ways, I can afford to have good or bad sense of direction by reacting differently on unknown places.
