Math and numbers or art and creativity?

Post Reply New Topic

Both for me. Although judging from grades from school the art probably win by a little bit. I was in art club for many years, don't remember being in a math club (although I always got A as well). I'm definitely creative and resourceful. The branch of math I really love is statistics. Collecting data and analyzing them and making graphs just make me so happy. Sometimes I don't think I'm capable of figuring out very abstract math theories Second year university math was the most I've managed and that's quite enough for me.

Art and creativity, definitely not maths.

I've never been good in math, science or technology. Yes I find some science interesting, but so do a lot of NTs that I know. Being NT doesn't mean ''uninterested in everything related to science, technology or math.''

But anyway, I have always been creative and artistic. I had a brilliant imagination as a kid, and I do have a good social imagination for an Aspie, and I love being creative and imaginative when it comes to general tasks. I've never been one to read many books or study or do a logical activity like building a puzzle.

When I was younger, I had both.

But as soon as I entered 3rd grade (I started watching T.V. instead AND sort of gained insomnia. I end up learning a lot of english instead); I lost motivation in maths, and stopped practicing any form of arts and barely doing something with creativity. (in both home and school unless when necessary)

I recovered the latter quickly after the end of 2nd year HS (Grade 8 at K+12 terms. and yes, 5 years). I remained stuck with math since.

Math has always been kind of a breeze for me when I was growing up and even now, however it's rather bothced up and for some reason people are encouraging me out of mathematics and want to warp me up in this hyper effeminized world. It's probably more psychologial if anything.

As for art, a lot of people simply encouraged me to do art even though how terrible I was at it. I use to create my own animals but that was all. The other kids in the school enjoyed them when I showed them so I can say both?

I'm still going with math since I was better at it than most of the subjects at school.

I'm horrible at math and numbers. I'm a good artist in my own right and I have a very wild imagination.

Art and creativity, definitely.

I am not artistic, except for my photo editing. I live in a world of maths and science. When I am made to go to an art gallery by my dad, I spend the whole time thinking about the chemistry of the paint, or the geometrical forms in the paintings.

Math definitely.

Numbers and counting were my special interest for a huge part of my life - since age 3 to 20.
As 3 year old I could count to 100.
My favorite past time as 5 year old was counting as far as I could. I was getting bored before reaching 1000 but I was claiming I could count to a billion or more if I had enough time because I knew how huge numbers work.
I learned how minus numbers work all by myself - just by looking at a thermometer.
I was also making my own ways to alternate multiplication table in elementary school because I considered learning them to memory not challenging enough. I was dividing, subtracting and adding to get the same result and only then I was happy.
I also loved fractions, geometry and all kinds of "find x" examples. I could easily imagine ways to get my results just by looking at questions, noone needed to tell me how.
Problems started with arrays and other advanced math. I still could do them and get an A at school but they were too complex for my taste. And I didn't see a practical examples of those in real life.

On the other hand I never understood art.
I never seen a point in creating and watching lots of art unless the thing was really unique. I remember that as a little kid I have had a painting in my room of real size, Victorian woman similar to my aunt with really interesting, vivid eyes that looked real and appeared moving - I was wondering who she was and I was thinking she is watching over me so nothing jumps out at me at night. I was even telling "hello" to her everyday and I could see her eyes following me as I was walking past her. She was like a haunted picture, honestly...
That was the only painting I ever liked. All others were just pointless decorations without any "soul".

I'm terrible at anything creative, I can do maths but I don't like it. I like practical science and chemistry and environmental science. I also am very good sports. Basically science and sports. So technically maths then.
