have you participated in events at/volunteered/shadowed at THE ohio state university?
 
I have experience with knot tying associated with firefighting. I had to learn to tie numerous knots while blindfolded and in thick gloves.
That's not exactly "fine manual dexterity" that I was expecting, but I definitely appreciate that challenge. I'm curious how you answered that question on AADSAS.
