It heavily depends on how your brain works plus your teacher’s abilities.
Most stuff can be done by taking educated guesses, that’s just not possible in math/physics etc. There is only right or wrong, no in between, thus if you are good at creative thinking, it doesn’t help at all. Also, since one rule is based on other rules, you really need to get the first rule to get the next. This requires a ton of abstract thinking to get the depenencies. A lot of people are good at memorizing stuff, which can be done without understanding it.
For you to get and stay interested in a topic, it needs proper presentation. Lots of logical thinkers are not good at presenting stuff to people who’s brains work differently. They just try to eyplain things the way THEY understood it, which is why their presentations are simply boring to others.
