I was blessed with the ability to remember most of what I heard and read, and to be able to test really well. In school I never understood why I needed to do homework if I had already grasped the concept being taught and could prove the knowledge via testing. Usually got a zero on the homework portion of my grades and aced the tests which generally made my class grade pretty average.

To me that was always idiotic—know the subject inside and out, yet you get a C for the class because you didn’t hand in a series of busy work.
