> really smart but simply too analytically inclined to comprehend normal prose? I can not connect this type of comprehension problem to the analytical trait/skill/etc. I have definitely see similar comprehension mistakes in non-analytical people. I think it is unlikely that If you saw some one you thought was not smart make the same mistake would you claim it was because they were too analytical. Coming to conclusions quickly and acting on them is viable useful strategy on many occasions. It makes sense that it would be used at most levels of intelligence. Taken to far it can be jumping to conclusions and can have heavy consequences.
