Yea, I think this is generally true... I think someone either has their skills spread out and balanced, or exceed in certain things, while not being so good in others.
For example, I'm pretty slow when it comes to physics, yet general mathematics is much quicker for me. In more depth, I'm doing my first year in my undergraduate for a degree in mathematics, and the linear algebra and (theory) calculus courses are fun and relatively natural for me. In difference, I am also taking intro. physics (forced to), and its either because I hate the course (I would say I like the study of physics), or something else, because it just takes me forever to read the material and be able to apply the ridiculous amount of nonsense and 'facts' the book throws at me... That course makes me so mad...
Good time to vent: I hate the book, "Physics for Engineers and Scientists," by Knight guy. I hate it, hate it, and hate it some more.
