Great sense of time--hmm. Yes, I would say that this is accurate. Knowing what time it is is very important to her.

Great handwriting--yes, she has gorgeous handwriting and is also very artistic.

Organized--nope. Her room is messy, although not horrendous.

In general, she is a fiend for accuracy. She is also an extremely good speller and her language mechanics are very strong. I have never seen her write a run-on sentence, and she's been using semicolons since she was in kindergarten, when she called them "dot commas." I guess some of what I see in her is an incredible ability to pick up on and apply patterns.

(She's also very creative, though.)
