...topics? As a child I was interested in things like, Dinosaurs, tractors, video games, movies, trains, sports (baseball mostly), agriculture, birds/animals, books (mostly fiction). I changed interest constantly, every month for the most part. Once I felt that I had mastered it, or grown board with it I moved on to something else. I have never understood these strong interest, outside of this quirk I was a normal child. Did I just enjoy learning? Was it something else? Since age 14 or so I have not noticed it as much if at all. I was checked for aspergers as a child and was diagnosed as non-autistic (3 of my cousins were diagnosed at age 7 or 8, my school checked me out then at the request of my parents). I am an ENTJ on the MBTI, and my parents seemed to have strong interest in specific things, could that have something to do with it? What else could it be? An anomaly?
To be a little more specific, take sports for instance, I would play them on teams, watch them on TV, read books about them, subscribe to magazines about them and I seemed quite absorbed with them (I still am). I would usually talk about them to my friends who seemed to share my interest and also played on the same teams as me.
I also took the Stanford/Binet and scored a very high IQ, just over 150 at age 13. That put me ahead of quite a few people in my age if I remember.
