You forgot "answer: you said you need ot remember the answers. Not what the answers are, but how to do it. you can't study answers :3

Fat meant something like this.

I hate math. Absolutely loath it. In highschool, you get the knowledge of math and other things drilled into your head. Then you get a test with those problems on it. You remember how to do it because you were essentially trained like an animal to know how to do it. I hate math and by no means am I "gifted" with it, just because I remember how to do something. Tests don't measure intelligence, no matter what the teachers say. They measure memory accuracy.
Same like a dog. You teach it to sit for treats. Yes, it learns how to sit, but only because it was drilled into it's brain that sit=food.
Memorize how to do things=Pass test=Good Grades=More money in future job.

Edit: and with a lot of things the Answer CAN be memorized darling.

^ I could never say it better then this. :,D

Let's take spelling for example: everyday we use it. The only reason why we can spell is because we remember. So, there is no such as being gifted in my honest opinion, we're just better at recognizing what things mean than others.

For physical talents, it's because - in my opinion - you just have muscles, quirks, that other don't have, or yours are more advanced than others at that age or stage.
