Why am I constantly transposing numbers?

Question

I am not dyslexic with the alphabet. I read very well and pretty fast, but when it comes to numbers I'm lost. I can copy a number down 3 or 4 times and STILL get the numbers mixed up. WTH?

I have never been good at math, ever, and now it seems I cant even get a simple 10 digit number right. Oh I am in my 50's above average intelligence and an incredible capacity for totally uselss trivia

Ideas please?

Dyslexia doesn't necessarily mean you have trouble reading. I have issues with my numbers, as well, transposing them, especialy phone numbers. I'm betting you can read text upside-down and backwards without difficulty. Not all things about dyslexia are bad. :)
