Do you have any natural talents?

Problem solving, I have a very strong ability to break down problems, often using abstractions, and solve them pretty easily.

It makes programming a breeze :)
 
I am able to memorise lists/tables very quickly. For example, I memorised the first sixty elements of the periodic table in order of atomic number when I was fourteen. It took me about half an hour, and I can still reel them off as quickly as I can count. (I was planning on the whole table of course, but got distracted and could never be bothered finishing it.)

I memorised the entire underground map, in the form of each line being a list of stations, in about four hours, but because I never used the knowledge I forgot most of it after a few months. I have to at least occasionally recount the information a few times in the first year or two or I lose it rapidly.
 
For me i say it would be certain aspects of mountain biking and my ability to pick up computer stuff and be able to work it quickly.

That's quite impressive but why did you spend 4 hours of your life memorising it? :eek::p
 
would have to go with the sports one, in the past i've always been very good at any sport including football, rugby, basketball, badminton, tennis, squash, swimming, judo etc got various medals in all.

But over the last few years i'd say problem solving and reverse engineering.
 
I was young and naive. I thought it might impress the recruitment bods in my upcoming interview with London Underground. They weren't interested of course, and despite achieving the highest scores in all of their aptitude tests out of about fifty candidates, they didn't hire me for the basic job of station assistant...though they did hire several foreigners who could hardly speak English, believe it or not. That was back in 1997.
 
I'm naturally very observant, I'll spot things from miles away that other people wouldn't see without actually searching for it.

Comes in handy when mountain biking because it means I can see good lines to travel over very easily, so I guess it means I'm also naturally good at cycling :p (helps that I'm quick aswell.)
 
I remember numbers well.

I'm sort of working on my creative side, there could be loads of stuff there I haven't actually discovered yet as I've never really even attempted anything seriously creative.
 
Procrastination. I'm so talented at putting off work I can actually reverse the flow of time and work backwards, reducing the amount of work completed. I'm kinda the inverse of that guy from Heroes: I can freeze the flow of time for myself and whatever I'm doing, while the rest of the world keeps moving. :p
 
I have the amazing natural talent of stupidity and getting out of trouble just by being a cheeky chappy;)

Apart from them i can play drums pretty well and i've been told i can sing pretty well:o
