What Are You Exceptionally Good At?

The following is a found poll, stolen from someone else very nearly verbatim because I found it interesting. The phrase "exceptionally good at" should be taken to mean "significantly better at than most people."

[Poll #34476]

Ha.. it's probably not a surprise that the most selected response so far is "communicating my deepest feeings and thoughts" since this poll is taking place in a JOURNAL. :)

Actually, though, it's now fallen behind "Making my friends laugh" (16) "Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things" (14) and "Making art and culture an ongoing part of my life" (14).

Haha yeah... true. That's why I said, "So far." :) It's possible that the people who saw it and replied first are those who go into their journal often, thus the reason why that one was in the lead... hmmm.......

Sad, man. Not one of your regular readers can fix stuff when they need to? We're all bright people; it sucks that we all have to call plumbers and mechanics! At least the stereotypes about Queer men being slaves to fashion and Queer women being mechanically adept aren't being borne out here!

There's something queer about 70.8% of people being better than most at making their friends laugh.

I was thinking the same thing.

Personally, I endorse the self-assessments of you, [livejournal.com profile] jodawi and [livejournal.com profile] illscientist as being "significantly better than most people" at making me laugh. But for the rest - sure, they make me laugh often enough, but not exceptionally often.

i wouldn't say that this section of the population
is an accurate representation of the world at large.
70.8% of gayle's readers are funny. :)
