Dear Nancy, Because of these two observations, I've always thought that people who are good at bobbin lace would make good software engineers, whether they know it or not, and whether they are good at arithmetic or not. This is the other way around from some of the observations that have been made, but related I think.
Whilst I have always been a natural mathematician, it was when I did the super-dooper psychiatric tests in the army and they made me an interpreter that I was told it's not just maths that I'm good at, it's the part of the brain that deals with code-breaking!
And that includes all those things such as: mathematics; reading and creating music; languages; Braille; typing, and not doubt many more.
