I can't confine myself as either a fast or slow learner.

Everything depends on what data you are trying to pick up and reorganize them into information.

What kind of things come quickly to you and what takes time?

As an example, I can pick up useless gossips (data) and turn them into stories (information). But I am pretty bad at turning numbers (data) into patterns (information).

So that means, I could be a better writer than a mathematician.

Does it matter?

I believe that it does. I am more comfortable with books that tells stories (practical) than ones that throw theories (academic) at you.

So I say, find which ever way works better for you and stick with it.
