Interesting.

Most of my life, including in my childhood, I considered my strengths to be in the Humanities. I HATED the sciences, but have grown to appreciate them over the years. As for math, when I applied myself I managed fairly well, though I never had a particular passion for it. Oddly, I did better, and quite well, on the math section of the SAT compared to the verbal section.That surprised me a lot. I will say I had a particularly good teacher for math subjects. In college, I placed into Calculus for Economics and then took Statistics for Economics. I found both classes interesting, much more so than the Algebras, Trig, or Geometry. I hated regular economics classes (micro, macro, etc.), and did poorly in them, wasting my time taking three or four. I attempted to take accounting, but dropped out after one or two class meetings. Other than a computer science and geography class (geography as a social science, not memorizing places on maps), that was the last of such types of classes. Most of my classes were language, literature, and history classes. I eventually also took four college classes in psychology after my BA degree, some of which were quite science oriented. And I surprisingly did great.

I benefited from my knowledge of statistics at my last job (sales and marketing). I was also quite good at utilizing and creating databases and MS Excel "stuff".
