I’m fascinated by kinesthesia. I’ve put in some 30 years getting moved into my body. It would probably be more exact to say that I’m improving the connection between my conscious mind and my kinesthetic information, but “getting moved in” is how I think about it.
I think of myself as having a very good associative memory—you talk about something, and there’s a reasonable chance I can remember a magazine article I read 20 years ago that’s related to it. However, when I’ve mentioned this, a fair number of people say they have it too.
My ear-mouth coordination is poor—I’m bad at singing or imitating sounds.
I’m good at summarizing.
I’m fascinated by the inside of my head (details of how my experience works). Sometimes this pays off—I discovered recently that some attention and movement problems were the result of my believing that I didn’t to things fast enough, so I’d try to do them faster than I could get the sensory information I needed.
Psychetypes by Michael Malone is a rather theory based look at the Myers-Briggs personality types, with emphasis on how they perceive time and space. The general theme is that there are many ways of thinking and acting which add up to normal-to-excellent functioning, and they’re more different from each other than you could imagine if you only look at your own experience.
While I’m not convinced that the Enneagram is a complete theory of personality, it’s another good angle for looking at mental variation. The hypothesis is that everyone makes primary use of one of nine filters, though the others can come into play. I will say it explained some things to me when I realized I’m apt to use the search for perfection as a general way of looking at things.
