Because you learn so quickly you have little patience with those whose mental processes are somewhat slower, and you could become supercilious or somewhat "know it all" in your attitude. You are rather studious, mentally challenging each new idea before accepting it. " You do not mean to offend but being reserved creates a barrier in communication and makes you appear disinterested.
