I think expertise has a progression that starts with passion, then focus, onto experience, and then a calmnesss in the understanding of a given topic.
That passion, for me at least, is always the igniter of any expertise I carry today.

On the other hand, there are some people I've worked with over the years that became experts simply by doing what they were told. These people I believe started with focus and diligence, gained experience, then became experts.

Personality can be a part of expertise as well. Are you able to focus or are you always interested in the new way to do things? You may become proficient at something without focus, but you will unlikely ever be an expert.

Of course then there are people with scary brains that read four books and become experts!!

 

[Nashoba]

I would have to say the one thing I am truly an expert on are Marine Corps Guidons and the Marine Corps' family support services.
Everything else I'm just varying degrees of good at but they include, cherokee / choctaw basketry, fiber arts, crafts, sewing, music, and theater.

 

[MagistrateChris]

I'd say that I'm about as close an expert at criminal law as any other lawyer you might find, better than some, probably less knowledgable than others. Pretty good on the Army thing. Know a lot about firearms. And, I can turn out a good meal six out of seven nights. My degree in English Lit. means I can quote classic literature on occassion, which impresses people to no end.

I can usually figure out anything mechanical fairly quickly, and I can learn most kinds of computer software if I'm given a chance to mess around with it.

The manual rarely makes much sense at first, but if I play with it a while and then go back to the manual, it becomes a lot easier to understand.

I'm the same way, Tony. I'm one of those guys who'll bring something home and commence to dismantle it. I usually get it back together.

I got a new digital camera on Memorial Day (my second - I bought my first one in '98) and I'm trying out everything. I try something, then look in the owner's manual to learn how to do it right. (As my father always said, "When all else fails, dig the instructions out of the trash.)

I've been exprimenting so much, in fact, that a few hours ago the Low Battery warning icon started indicating that I'll need new batteries . . . for the second time! lol

I'm no expert in anything, really, but I often have people asking me questions about; spelling, photography, auto mechanics, computers (I usually refer those questions to my brother) and, for some reason, the stock market - I've never studied it, but people ask anyway.
