Exactly. One I'd have a hard time explaining by this model is my comical ability to get lost while driving. This has almost always hurt me--occasionally others--but primarily me. I have the same problem navigating halls in a video game. I've worked at it and gotten better, but that weirdly specific deficit has always haunted me all the while Ive been perfectly adequate as a programmer, etc.
