Coworkers often look at me quizzically when, things that might take them 10 minutes to figure out, I do mid-sentence, or things that they might flounder on for weeks, I'll sometimes figure out while reflecting for a minute or two. I sometimes wonder what it'd be like to be one of the true greats.
Not trolling - you must be big brain. curious what types of problems you find yourself able to solve in such a way
I'm an engineer at a medical device design firm. I seem to be particularly good at coming up with novel gizmos and contraptions that can solve the problem de jour, and predicting probable behaviors/failure models/strengths and weaknesses of said contraptions. On the flip side, I'm atrocious with written language, and my memory is distinctly hit or miss 😂
