These are just my opinions.\n\nSpeed Mathematics - I think it's something you are born with. Can you practice and get faster? Yes, but never to the level of the geniuses that are born with it. \n\nSpeed Reading - Learned. I think that there are some people who are more apt at this kind of thing then others, but I think it's learned.\n\nPerfect Pitch - definitely you are born with it. There IS no learning perfect pitch (and that I know for a fact as I was a music major in college). You CAN learn to recognize and sing pitches that you want, but when you do, it is then called RELATIVE PITCH.
