An inner conflict wherein the resolution of a dilemma has both positive and negative aspects. In other words you're wishy-washy. Can't decide. Afraid to make decisions due to possible negative outcomes. A weeny.

Disassembling things and not putting them back together.

You don't appear that way.

Considering hundreds of different points of data and then applying complex physics to determine the best solution out of a hundred or so and doing it in less than one second.

A very handy skill to have when dealing with a refinery or pipeline problem, but there is not much call for such a talent anywhere else that I can think of.

Don't discount the abilities of a fish. The incredible Mr. Limpet not only spoke english fluently, but could sink Nazi submarines with what could only be described as a sonar belch.

Since I have been a troubleshooter of one sort or another since middle 70's, this skill(?) has been usefull if wierd. I have a tendency to be going to wherever the trouble is BEFORE they call me to come fix something. I just get a sense I need to be somewhere and go there. Sort of a Radar O'reilly thing. I don't understand it, I just go with it.
Other skill is more mechanical. When I work around a machine for a bit, I get to know its sound/voice. If something is a bit wrong, I will usually hear it and diagnose it long before I see it. Means I am constatnly nervous when driving. Any little sound will get me to thinking and worrying

I hear those here on a daily basis but you left off your sense of humor. I hope you are usually joking and not always serious. While my best quality is knowing when to bite my lip at home and at work.

I would have more disassembled stuff if I only had a bigger room.

Since I've got to pick one, I guess it would have to be procreation. I'm also quite adept at making money disappear, but the two are probably connected.

Oh, if we're going for honesty, I am good at these skills too....and very good at pissing off people when trying to make a good impression!;)
