Off the charts reading comprehension and ability to quickly understand nearly anything. I didn’t truly realize until I was well into adulthood how much of a superpower this is as well as what advantages it gives me.
And for a long time I thought other people just weren’t trying, but it wasn’t that. They just didn’t have the capability. That I could read something in two minutes and understand it all and the entire superstructure of thought behind (and ahead) of it and contextualize it effortlessly while they could spend two hours reading the same work or document and get nearly nothing out of it was a real eye-opener.
This talent certainly made my life vastly better than it otherwise would’ve been. It means I can do “impossible” stuff like day-trade and solve problems in minutes that take other people hours, days, weeks or years.
