I've also been good at puzzles, whether it be logic, word, or physical.  I use this skill to not only determine exactly what it is my client needs based on their verbal and physical clues, but also to come up with the perfect solution to give them exactly the kitchen they need for their everyday usage, design aesthetic, and budget. Solving the "puzzle" of my clients kitchen gives me the same satisfaction and sense of accomplishment I used to have when being the first to complete the "mad minute" in my math classes.
