Do you prefer to read non-fiction over fiction books?

Is your memory like a steel trap, even for facts that you don’t fully understand?

Do you enjoy inventing your own words and expressions that might seem quirky to others?

Even when you’re in a quiet place, like the library, do you find yourself making involuntary noises, like clearing your throat over and over?
