13. Your last sentence: how would you know?

My whole life I always tested high in both verbal and math/logic areas. I just had no interest in math and got over the required classes as soon as possible and never looked back.

At one point I was an admin asst to a Statistics & Applied Probability professor, and well remember the time a group of his graduate assistants were chatting in my office about the "low" math scores of the students they had to teach. I wanted to rise from my desk and inform them that I had seen THEIR Graduate Record Exam scores and had been shocked at how low their verbal scores were. Little snots.

Everyone has both talents and interests. Everyone is different that way.
