Good at finding things

Post Reply New Topic

For some reason I'm very skilled at finding things like my mums keys (she loses them almost every day), my brothers watch, my sisters phone (in a crowded club while drunk mind you) and even finding money on the ground while nobody else notices it.

I like to think I have a gift for finding lost items and when someone loses something I'm sure I can find it. Anyone else good at finding things?

I'm good at finding things, but a cellphone in a crowded club while drunk??! !

haha omgosh my parents use to call me eagle eyes, because i could find anything, prob even a needle in a hay stack, i was that good. Now i'm useless when it comes to finding anything, idk if i dont have the same focus or just my eye sight got worse idk lol

I imagine your eyes are frequently focused in a different direction than other people's. I think NTs have a tendency to do this sort of dance when they've lost their keys (and I think I've done it too, though my keys are rarely misplaced), where they know it's missing, so they walk into each room and "scan the room" looking for them, but they only really look around at eye level, which doesn't do them any good. If you go into the room and you sweep across it more methodically (which I suspect you're apt to do in part because you tend to focus your eyes on things that other people don't look at much), then you're more apt to find these things.

I am really good at finding things, to the point where apparently it is one of my main useful qualities as a person.

I think that I am good at finding things - I like geocaching (where I am finding hidden boxes), picking mushrooms... But I have problems when somebody point somwhere and ask "do you see it?" - I see nothing and finally I see it far from the point where I started searching.

I am quite good at this as well.

I just noticed how much I love to solve jigsaw puzzles because I can easily find the right puzzle peice out of the entire jumble and know exactly where it goes almost instantly.

I am a highly skilled finder. I found this skill was abused at work, though, by a few unscrupulous and lazy individuals - they also thought because I was willing to help, that I was an easy target. I did learn to feign ignorance that I knew where something was, to get them off their rounded rumps and do their own work (I don't like manipulative people, and I don't like lazy people, and they don't get rewarded by me for either). However, if the file is still lost and it becomes necessary to find it faster (because the doctor needs it), then I can "magically" make it appear... l have never found that something has been so irretrievable that I haven't been able to locate it, unless it has been thrown out in the interim (which has happened). I tend to look everywhere, in every possible spot, but also I map out in my mind where certain individuals might have been and where they might have put the file, or whatever. That usually works like a charm.

Can't fnd anything in the real world, put me on a computer though, and I can find anything.

Absolutely terrible at it. I am, however, a very good placer. I'm sort of a 'place for everything', but I married 'everything can be everywhere'...

No, I'm pretty awful at finding things I've lost. When I'm trying to find something I first scan the usual spots, but then I search the same spots over and over again and never look anywhere else. Then I get frustrated and ask my mom to help me (she's great at finding things). Sometimes the item I was looking for was right in front of me but I just don't see it.
