I can answer questions related to numbers and logic easily. However I sometimes face problems when solving questions that require a lot of creative thinking. I am not good at puzzles which involve a play with words, so please don't ask me to solve such puzzles for you.
Experience
I have read a couple of good books containing puzzles and can now claim to have an "expert" in this field. I have been invited to become a member of Mensa.
