This troper can score perfectly on emotional intelligence tests, give the answers that make her look perfectly balanced in psychological tests, and make anyone feel better and want to pour out their life story to her. She's also gained over the past few years an ability to be sympathetic with anyone and ridiculously easy-going in company. When told this, her close friends tend to pause, look stunned, and then burst out laughing maniacally. Mostly because they've seen my Pyschotic Smirk and been witness to some of my more intense meltdowns.

This troper's high school physics class featured target shooting across the room with a small PVC cannon. The most accurate shot in the class was TheSmartGuy, who spent about five minutes finding the spring potential of each cannon in the room, then another five minutes meticulously calculating out and lining up each shot. I would not be remotely surprised if he ended up as an Army sniper.

This troper, in combination with Percussive Maintenance, used this trope to keep my school's electronics running properly. I took one look at a VCR and determined why it wouldn't start. Also, I tend to determine exactly why some movie stunts are possible or impossible, and tell my friends.

This Italian troper (the one referring to himself as such in most of his edits, with a few exception such as "the one who was scared s**tless as a child by the intro to the monday movies") has just seen a question on Wiki Answers: "Why does Aqua have big boobs?". This troper formulated a ridiculously long answer.

This troper's friend is this in DragonFable. Well, at least compared to this troper. One day after I introduced the game to that friend, she already figured out that one of the quests gives you more money when you're at a more advanced level, that you can choose which enemy to attack when they have a group (it's probably obvious, but this troper didn't have a clue) and at level seven, she beat a quest that this troper didn't manage until level ten, because she actually took advantage of the role-based strategy instead of complaining about it like this troper did, and constantly changed her weapons to fit them to the monster. She even read all that text in the dialogues instead of randomly wondering around. This troper feels dumb.

This troper has problems thinking on his feet, and is almost pitifully weak, so nearly all of his awesome moments ''have'' to come from premeditated choreography and analysis. Case in point: winning an airsoft match despite being unable to run or shoot straight by "sitting out" for the first few matches, memorizing the movement patterns of the local champ as he "cleaned up" the unshot stragglers, and then joining in the very last match with a spring-firing pistol. He turned his jacket (until now bright orange) inside out, changing it to a drab olive-gray that blended in perfectly with the trees and grass. He then hid in a very specific and previously memorized spot, waited for the champ to clear out all of the other competitors, then took off his shoes, followed his opponent stealthily around the choreagraphed routes, and shot him in the back of the head at point-blank range.

Fairly mild by the standards of AwesomenessByAnalysis, but @/RobinZimm didn't learn to ride a bicycle until his late teens, when the father of a friend from his Scout troop offered to give him lessons so he could go on an upcoming bike trip. On the first day he had ever tried to ride, after a few basic explanations and a few attempts at balancing the bike while coasting, Robin decided to skip ahead, visualized in his head the movements of his feet needed to pedal forward ... and he was off and riding.

(That said, he immediately after decided to see if he could jump a curb...)

This troper used to approach everything in this manner, from video games to social interaction. Then he decided that such an approach was too boring and the outcome too predictable, and decided to just wing it instead.

Having an intense interests in subjects like physics, chemistry and biology as well as computers makes this tropers arguments/discussions on the Marvel forums like this. Discussing what certain characters (especially those like Magneto) can and can't do in a Vs. fight is quite awesome when you apply science! to their abilities. It also makes it somewhat unfair to some of the other posters who try to argue against this troper.

Same here. Tropette constantly argues that there is no such thing as 'control over shadows' without the ability to manipulate photons being thrown into the mix. She also insists that water and ice powers should be the same damn power, that the people who can control electricity should only be able to control electrons, and so on and so forth...

This Troper forever cemented his status a a Badass Bookworm in the eyes of his younger cousin when said cousin taught said Troper how to sprint (this Troper is not known for his athleticism). It took 2 minutes, 1 demonstration. #QUOTE#'''Troper:''' The good thing about being a bookworm is that you learn quickly. Back to AwesomenessByAnalysis.
