Expertise... because I'll want something to read later after moving house all day.

What do you consider yourself an expert at? Why?

Studies show that most world-class experts in any field have spent at least 10000 hours working on the related skills. No, I don't have a citation to hand... What have you spent 10000 hours or more learning or practising? That's 3 hours a day for 10 years.

How much overlap is there between these categories?

Do you consider yourself a specialist or a generalist? Why?

Is expertise absolute or relative?

I'm an expert on "myself", something which is very important when dealing with psychiatrists. I also seem to have become an expert on numerous friends...being able to diagnose episodes far quicker than the professionals, and so on. I guess I've worked hard for both, keeping uptodate on current psychiatric research, learning the background, knowing the daemons etc. Its certainly a 24-7 job.
