Just curious, you say you are lousy at MATH, but then say you are good at statistics and logic, which are integral parts of math, or at least math in the real world (perhaps that is the key). Do you feel lousy at algebra or calculus or something? I will say as a teacher that MANY more people think they are lousy at math than actually are. Math just provokes a rejection response in a lot of people (so does physics).
BF,
To test your theory you could throw out some spatial relations questions/problems to see how well people do. Of course in this non-controlled setting we'll just have to trust that people won't google the answer.
