Have you ever noticed that those who have a natural capacity for calculation and arithmetic are, generally speaking,quick in all kinds of study.And those dull minds when trained and exercised in it,if they getting nothing else,at least become sharper than they were before.
This just isn't true. Seems like the kind of thing someone who's good at math would want to believe, though.
I know many people who are incredibly quick at many kinds of study, but they're generally in the humanities. One of my friends taught himself 4 languages in high school, but he can't do math to save his life.
Several of my friends are MDs and also can't really do math, but they're very well-respected. One is the youngest person ever to hold his position at the Cleveland Clinic.
There are many types of intelligence, and it's very hard to place an absolute value on any one field. I find quotes like this to be elitist nonsense that devalue people with types of intelligence that differ from our own.

It is says those who are naturally good at math are good at all kinds of study,not as you suggest that those who are good at many kinds of study are good at math
