I must be an oddball! My ACT, SAT and GRE scores in math were always higher than my verbal scores–though I do have a funny twist. Standard math, algebra, geometry–I do just great. Get anymore theoretical, and I meltdown. Example: when I enrolled at university in 1981, the counselors recommended I try an honors calculus course (I had handled the subject well in high school); I agreed–and soon found it was PURE THEORY. When I had to give the mathematical proof that 0+1=1 and the proof that 1+1=2, I was thoroughly petrified!
I was out of the course before the first midterm exam…
