I can memorize a textbook chapter verbatim in an hour. I've also been told I've great computer skills and an amzing ability to learn new computer programs, and being is I've just been hired for my third computer-related job (I'm working right now) I guess thats true, After all every time I schedule an interview for the positions I was told I had one strike against me because I wasn't a tech/computer major, and this last job they were interviewing for 6 weeks prior to calling me in and hired me on the spot

Best = working out how things work and what they do (Voted 'Most likely to be able to backward engineer Alien Technology'), Computers, Martial arts, Storytelling, absorbing Data, funny.

Worst = butt ugly, cant read body language, undesirable to the opposite sex

Best - Language/writing. I have the knack of writing things in a way that's easy and enjoyable to read. I could write in any given style and for any given purpose.

Worst - "People Skills"

My best and worst is basically the same thing as yours KingdomOfRats except, I'm not as good at computers as I use to be.

My best quality is my incredible focus and determination. I can become an expert at just about anything I put my mind to.

Worst quality, my lack of people skills.

Its as if I've developed my best quality to achieve greatness alone, where most people with better social skills would have people help them to achieve that level instead.

Nobodyzdream hahaha yes yes I am a genius at tidying and organising other people!! Glad I'm not the only one with paradox traits!!

To be honest I reckon I have some hidden talents that I need to discover, well I hope so!! My problem is I have a tendency to run myself down. Anyway lets have a go:
Good:
Organising others doing things for others
Almost absolute pitch
artistic
imaginative
sense of humour
logical in a crisis
good at retrieving information remembering facts
helpful
creative
super-focus / mono
kind, cheerful demeanour (on occasion)

the bad
anxious
blunt
only one thing at a time,non to multi-tasking
anti-social
mood swings
irritable
literal
obsessive
poor at maths, chemistry
inertia
finishing projects
short term memory
indecisive
weak sensory integration
low tolerance for people

Yeah, I hear u man. lol

However, the most social people I've known don't seem to understand what my problem is. That I should just simply relax & go with the flow, which is the opposite of what I do if I'm normally bad at something.

Trying hard not to try so hard. That's a paradox I haven't been able to crack yet.
