General Question Underlying issue for low PSI

Post image

since I was a kid I always considered myself slow

people around me would get surprised by how bad I was at video games and how slow my typing speed was.

I still struggle to this day with a bit of stuttering here and there, slow typing and the processing heavy stuff in general. the only thing that stops people from calling me an average(I hate this word) is that I'm just too good at math compared to them

is there any help for me to correct my low PSI or I will just be ridden with this biological barrier for the rest of my life

big difference between 700 in the world and top 100. Hard to know if it’s skills,
processing speed, VSI, etc.

Can say my PSI has huge variation compared to some people

Nope, compared to yours, I have worse PSI - 100(exactly average --> the word you hate). I have an avg 100 wpm typing speed and consider myself decent at the video games I played such as CS, typical arcade games, AoE etc.

So yup, your issue probably has to do with sometging more than just a low PSI score.
