Answer the poll and comment in thread.
Apparently so.
I found out when I went to military basic training that I was much better at following directions than the average person. I was the first in my flight to disassemble and reassemble my rifle, and I did both in under 30 seconds each. The next closest person took over a minute for each.
The big tradeoff: Making decisions by myself is really really hard. That's why I play most non-linear games with a guide... And why I find it really really hard to play Elder Scrolls and Fallout games unless I get specific inspiration. It's a terrible, terrible thing having to decide your character's looks, skills, name, allegiances, morals, etc etc. Though, I am trying really hard to overcome that by playing the ultimate sandbox more often: D&D.
Yes I am. And "pick this option" wasn't in the directions, it was an option :p
I start trying very hard to follow, but if I find an easier way I always wonder from them

I didn't answer the poll.
Depends on what's being asked. Often time I need specific instructions like where's something is at, otherwise I could be looking right at it and not know because the description I was given was horrible.
Nah I deliberately do what I choose to do and sometimes that means not doing exactly what is instructed. If it's a work thing, it is is often times because I have a better way of doing something. People who are older and less technology savvy tend to think there is only one way to do things. I never read instructions for IKEA or Legos either. I don't got time for that.
If I pick the option: "No, I'm a rebel", would I still be following orders, and therefore negating my rebellious option?
Yep, that's why I didn't answer it.
im no good at it at all..
ill always forget something or misunderstand something
Where's the poll? How do I vote?
the song says i can go my own way
I am when I need to. I am utterly awful at giving directions though, out of all skills and talents I honestly think it's probably the thing I'm worst at.
I'm great at it.
I forget directions easily, my short term memory isnt good. But say its a game guide or in game instructions, once it goes into my long term memory it becomes second nature.
I'm only good @ following...
... One Direction.
