Yes they are. Children who can estimate better when they are young excel in maths. Left-brained people excel in art/creativity and practical learning. Right-brained people excel in science and theoretical learning. Generally speaking, what people are good at is what they enjoy, and what people enjoy are what they are good at. A topic/career may look nice from the outside, but if it doesn't match your personality you simply aren't going to get much enjoyment out of it in the long run.

If you want to persue a career in a field other than your strong points, you will have to work even harder while you are in school. But it is do-able.

Even though i had an interest in the arts (Graphics Designer) i had great aptitude in science (Im a Civil Engineer). I pursued Graphics Design as a career but i somehow always managed to find myself doing Engineering.

I am far more artistic than I am good at math. Math and Science have always been a huge struggle for me. However the job I have fallen into involves a lot of math and statistics and the more I do it the better/easier it is but Im not happy with it. Im sure if you want to pursue a career in the opposite of what you are good at you will achieve it, just stick at it.

I took the SATs in my Junior and Senior year in HS. I had a REALLY good English teacher in my Junior year. In my senior year, I had fascinating courses in upper level math and Chemistry, which I absolutely loved. I scored 100 points more on English in my Jr. Year than Sr, but 100 points more in Math/Science in my Sr. year than my Junior. Fortunately, they count the higher score from either test, so I darn near aced the SATs. But that shows me that level of interest and engagement has a lot to do with it.
