    People who are strong in visual-spatial intelligence are good at visualizing things. These individuals are often good with directions as well as maps, charts, videos and pictures.
    Some of your strengths include:

    Putting puzzles together
    Interpreting pictures, graphs and charts
    Drawing, painting and the visual arts
    Recognizes patterns easily

    That said, I am not good at puzzles but love art and design.

    ETA: After thinking things over, I realized that I am good at puzzles just not jigsaws. I love trying to figure out why things are the way they are so question everything.

    I got this, which is so far off base it's pretty funny:

    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    I forgot sewing. I've always been fascinated by it, watched Saturday morning shows with Nancy Zieman, collected sewing books, have more than one sewing machine, made a couple of garments...I don't seem to have the patience for it, and commercial patterns are--as the saying goes--an idiot's delight. I may give it another try, but...

    That's a skill I put on the shelf for a long time, except for Halloween. As a matter of fact, I just asked my DD if I could have the old basic sewing machine I gave her a few Christmases ago (she bought a super-duper one). I love to sew--one of the many aspirations I had was to be a costume designer for the stage. I made all my clothes in high school, and I made really kick-butt Halloween costumes for my kids over the course of 25 years!!! (The last one was Edward Scissorhands for my then-19 year old son)

    I've also done curtains, and I'm about to try slipcovers for my consignment shop wing chairs. I'll let you know how it goes!
