I'm pretty good at some motor skills and horrible at others.

I can use chopsticks (sort of), and I can paint and work on very small scales, but I know I walk kind of odd especially when I have to step off a curb. Actually I'm better at walking in the woods than in cities or any pavement.

I am not great at origami. (my score for visual spatial skills was lower than my verbal score on the neuropsychology test).

Yes! I don't write properly or type properly. I can't use chopsticks, I can't swim, skate or ride a bike, use chopsticks or memorize a keyboard when I'm typing although I can still type fast. I can't do anything fancy with my hair and I didn't learn how to tie my shoelaces until I was 16. I'm still slow at tying laces. I can't tie things backwards either such as putting on an apron or tying a bow at the back where I can't see it.
