Well, sort of.
- I could look at a typewritten page and, within about 10 seconds, find any typos or other grammatical mistakes. I didn’t have to read the page but would drill down to any section that caught my eye and go from there. This was put to good use as a word processor in the training section of Crocker Bank when proofreading. I was responsible for typing up all the (how to) job personnel manuals for the entire bank. When I was first hired, it was a staff of twelve that became 3. When I left, 5-1/2 years later, it was just me.
- I could type as fast as a normal person could talk. I wish I could keep it up all day.
- I knew when I made a mistake typing and could correct it usually right then.
- I could tell if something was either magnetic or could be magnetized just by holding it near the bridge of my nose. It gave me a tingling sensation.
- Hand/Eye coordination was always top notch. Was good at bowling (203 league average when I stopped in ‘02), ping pong and pool champion in school, basketball HORSE and three point shooter (but sure had a hard time dribbling), loved pepper (that’s speed practicing with a baseball and bat)
- Not sure if this qualifies. I first did this in high school and it always worked. If I ever needed to wake at a certain time, what I would do is visualize that time as I fell asleep. I would do it both with an analog and digital face.
- I could nap during class and wake when the teacher approached. Don’t remember ever getting caught.
