Or vice-versa?

No i dont believe so. You can be better at one thing over the other but one does not negate the other

It is definitely not true for me. I read a lot and did well in English classes, but I also competed in math contests. I ended up with 780 verbal, 780 math on the SAT.
A lot of people think that if they are good at math, it gives them an excuse not to be good at verbal communication and vice-versa, but that's just an excuse for not wanting to work at both.

Talent in math and talent in verbal skills are separate. You can be bad in both, good in one and not the other, or good in both. For instance, the students at Harvard or Duke or Stanford, say, get 750s in SAT math and 750 in SAT verbal, while the kids at no-name u. probably got 480s in both.
When people are hardworking and smart, they may have more talent in one direction than the other, but they make up for that by really working hard and practicing to improve their weaknesses. So, the really good talent to have is the talent of working hard.

Gee, I never really heard that, but theoretically it could be.
Math is an ABSTRACT, which means you use INCOMPLETES as a way of life, hence communication is not viable if you think only in NOUNS and not VERBS.

It doesn't tell us ANYTHING we can RELATE to.
If you learn to think in abstract terms you learn to communicate in them for you will ASSUME that people read between the lines and know what you know.

I read Einstein's book on Relativity. His GRANNY had to have at least as MAsters Degree in Physics to understand that, for it gave me a head ache.

Certain subjects tend to go together: maths, science and music tend to follow due to the system of thinking. English, languages and creative subjects also tend to go together.
Obviously it depends on the individual person, and it is also important to remember that there are many different aspects of different subjects: English does not only include noun, verbs etc but analysis and critical thinking, which someone who is strong at maths and science tends to be strong in.

For many people this is true-- especially those with aspergers, who tend to be very gifted at math, but due to slight autism, have trouble effectively communicating with people.
Most people tend to be better at either math or english, but I've known many people equally talented at both. They're not mutually exclusive, but people tend to favor one side or the other.

Well...I wouldn't say true,but its like that all the time.I have a friend that is a math major, but when it comes to things like asking a store clerk if they got anymore vanilla ice cream, she needs me to ask them. And the ones that aren't good in math,they talk all the time.Talk back,everything.So...it's pretty much true.***Hope this helps!!Please rate my answer as best!!Thanx!!**

No - that is not necessarily true - although that is true for some individuals.
Good Luck!!!
