I can get to the heart of arguments quickly.
I solve puzzles and always did as a kid. I solved the rubik's cube on the second day I had it when it first came out - before the internet. That's way quicker than Rubik himself.
I see things that others don't. I often do it in 'intuitive' leaps where i can see multiple steps ahead all at once, and I know it works even though I haven't had time to think it through. It takes a second to see it but might take 20-30 minutes to explain it. I don't know how, it just happens.
Formal IQ tests affirm it - they're just like more fun puzzles.
In my work I've become a global expert at something - mostly through problem-solving and creative thinking I saw possibilities that led to it being changed.
But I'm not always really quick like some. I'm also not great at maths - never interested me, and only use it where it is relevant. My ability tends to be around things I'm interested in.
It also doesn't mean anything - it doesn't make you better than anyone. It's just useful. When my car isn't working, I have full respect for my friends who listen for 10 seconds and know exactly what's needed.
