what are your best skills?

Do you know what are you best skills?

I just started on a new game, which tests the player on four skills, analytical, calculation, memory, and also processing. And of the many times that i played, i noticed that i tend to score better marks in the areas of analytical and processing. Even at my worse, i would get higher marks in these 2 skills.

There are a total of 4 skills measured with 2 types of test drawn up for each skill. You only need to do 4 tests, one for each skill. You of course, will not be able to choose which of the 2 tests available for each skill. It's not the player's call.

In memory skills, there are 2 types of test, one that requires you to find matching the pairs of cards or pictures, and the other, requiring you to match the objects that had been given, in the correct sequence. In both tests, players were given approximately 2-3 seconds to see the original condition. I always fare worse in the 2nd type of memory question. Cant seems to get my thoughts organize fast enough to absorbs and understand all the details. In the first kind, i found that if given lesser than 4 pairs, i was able to do quite well. But once they increased the number of pairs, i get confused, fast.

As in the memorizing skill, they have 2 types of tests to gauge our calculation prowess. The first type, we have to find the correct mathematical symbol in the given equation. Kinda like filling in the blanks of a sentence. This is alright to me, if the question are numbers 2 digits, and 'direct' equations. Once they start throwing me 3 digits, or those questions with 'smaller' equations in brackets, i start to get confused and then mess up the tests. The 2nd type is giving the answer to the sums posed. Again, i could only answer the simple calculations fast and confidently.

For the analytical and processing questions, which i surprisingly always score higher than the other 2 type of skill, they are more like seeing what's given, and then you give the answer.

Fortunately, one test that i could do well, in the processing category, is arranging the numbers or alphabets given in ascending order. Numbers were easy, really. The only drawback here for me is when the alphabets come out. I usually take slower time to do alphabets. The other more confusing test to check your skill in this faculty of the mind, is finding the correct missing tile to complete the picture given. It's really like finding the final few pieces to complete the jigsaw puzzle.

Analyzing skill test that i prefer is the counting of blocks given. Something like 'sokoban' blocks, dropping in random quantity and arrangement. Once they are down falling from the sky, you have to give the answer. The other test of identifying the heavier objects always gets me confused and end up just taking wild guesses.

Now, this is an eye opener to me. All this while, i thought i have a good memory, and could probably do calculations better than analyze something. I have always been drawn to games that i could practice upon, and certainly the areas of memorizing and calculations should be the best bets if i wanted to score high marks. Those are the areas of the mind that you can train and develop by practice, no?

So what do this game tells me?
That i'm good in analyzing and processing something? And can i even narrow it down further, i'm good at these, as long as involves numbers, with a straight forward outlook, no hidden meaning or factors to consider? Does it also shows that under pressure, i really cannot perform well? After all, all tests are done in 1 minute durations. I wonder, really, if i could use this as an indicator of my personal strengths and weaknesses to wade through this life? Are these really my best skills?

Reflecting this with full honestly, i feel, there might be some truth in this. I always get very stressed under pressure when required to get an answer, but then again, not when facing organizational crisis. I am always analyzing things, but never had a speciality, until now.

I really am not sure, but if it's anything, this is a game that i could enjoy playing.
