Do you have any natural talents?

Naturally good at sprinting. A couple of people used to tell me to do sprint training as I could be professional. :)

Also, I pick things up very quickly, which others have noticed. Had a friend who had been skating for years, within 2 months I was as good as him (this is one of the people who noticed).

Pretty lucky too, which annoys the hell out of everyone I ever compete against. :D
 
I also pick things up quickly, especially sports. I'm very good at English Literature and writing, despite the fact i've never read a book in my own time. I hope to somehow get into writing one day, but at the moment i've taken a completely different path and i'm working in IT.

My main problem is not being hard working enough. I'm intelligent and talented enough, but when it comes to something i'm not too keen on it really takes a lot for me to get myself to work.
 
I pick things up quickly (completely self taught in IT and programming/SQL).

Helps having a photographic memory :)
 
I have been told on several occasions that I have a naturally ability to charm women. It's a great skill to have.
 
I am very aware, if that is a talent, when playing sports, mainly football. Unfortunately being unfit and having a beer belly means that when I play on a Saturday I usually play **** because I am knackered after 20 minutes.

I can juggle. But I wouldn't say that is natural talent, as I learnt to do it. The natural talent involved I suppose would be good hand eye coordination.

I'm naturally good at everything when drunk. Singing, philosophy, politics, playing darts/pool/football, chatting up women. It's great!
 
I can listen to a piece of music and scribe all the different parts for it straight away.

I can play pretty much anything on the guitar.
 
Languages, Art and Music.

Although I remember language via patterns; classroom learning of a language doesn't work for me at all. Come to think about it, everything I'm good at is all to do with learning in patterns.

Patterns of art, patterns of a riff/drum beat/baseline, patterns of word usage, etc.

When it comes to Maths or anything that requires that kinda mind set, I am totally lost and confused. My mind is very 'female', apparently. Woo hoo! :p
 
I've always found academic stuff easy, when I was at school I could pick up any subject I wanted and do well. I didn't really study for my highers, I think I did a few days for each subject at most, and came out with straight As.
I think I have a natural ear for languages too, I can understand people speaking to me or things written in another language much better than anything I've been taught to say or write.

I've been told that I have a good ear for music - I can listen to something and repeat it without much trouble. I found music easy too, I got to grade 8 violin in around 3 years of playing, and decided to pick up the flute in the middle of my standard grades for my music exams, so got to around grade 4/5 within a year.
 
I'm not sure. Natural aptitude at turning my hand to anything I suppose. I don't seem to suck at anything, though I'm not brilliant at anything either.
 
I think, well I like to think, that I'm naturally gifted at music to a degree. Not as much as some people that your see touring, and are right at the top of the scale at their instrument. That upsets me sometimes, but I like to think that I'm alright. :p

But I think I am naturally gifted a humanities and sociology in general. Things like politics and what not. I think it's something I've inherited from my fathers side, but I've always been really interested in it, and always had a knack for understanding it.

Yeah I'd agree with the natural aptitude thing, some people are pretty good at everything they try , I personally believe all people have a talent hidden somewhere, unfortunately most people don't discover it.

You could build models for a living.

There seems to be quite a bit of money for model ships for the owners and/or museums.

Oh yes, you can earn a living from it, but its barely a living - I know a number of full time commision builders and the amount of skill, experience and hours they plough into a model is very rarely reflected in the price. Drive over a canvass with a paint covered bicycle tyre and you can earn a million though... :o
 
Maths
Electronics, good at troubleshooting circuit boards and designing them.

I guess that ties into logic

I'd also say stickability but I've just tested that by seeing if I can run at 16Km/h for 2 miles at a little incline and nearly dropped dead on the 2K point. :)
