Weird Talents?

[promiser]

Weird talents... Hmmmm...
I healed a broken bone in 2 weeks (Average is 6... Doctors were shocked)
No stage fright what so ever (Not an actor though... Can't remember my bloody lines, that's my bad memory)
I can persuade people to do just about anything for me (Comes in handy)
I can basically shut off emotion... Like entirely... You could murder small children in front of me and I can sit there and be fine
I can learn new languages insanely fast
I can get my point across in writing in foreign languages than I can in my first language (English)
I have amazing balance too, I can do the matrix without strings or supports or anything for almost 10 minutes straight
Other than that I can't think of anything...

Hmm... talents... I have talents...

...Ah!

I can look through programming in virtually any programming language (that is intended to be legible. So, that excludes hex and machine code) and figure out exactly what it does. I have the ability to ace nearly any college exam with literally no studying. I am the go-to guy in my sphere of family, friends, and coworkers if anyone needs to know anything. Nobody seems to be able to tell when I'm joking until I tell them, even when it's something like asking for $10,000 in payment for a cube of post-it notes when I'm at the cash register. I apparently surprise people with my memory, because I get comments on it quite a bit. Finally, I can do a fair job of debugging many more virtual issues than the majority of people in America, and even do a better job than many IT admins.

 

[Spoo]

I can do this weird thing with my right cheek by blowing air into it. It makes a weird noise and looks like my skin is flapping in the wind. I also used to be able to almost perfectly replicate the sounds of a trumpet using my lower lip.

 

[Cryranos]

I can whistle the violin parts from the four seasons.

I've never needed to study for anything.

im a human dictionary i guess. i can spell almost any word perfectly and define almost anything off the top of my head. i didn't think that was particularly extraordinary or anything but apparently i'm the "go-to" person on all spelling and "what does this mean" queries at every place i've ever worked or class ive ever taken ... :0

me too. I can spell anything from cat to forcefield to passacaglia to pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicavolcanoconeosis.

Just don't ask me to spell nesecary or butress.

I'm also a natural linguist and can pronounce anything. I can read any language with near perfect pronunciation so long as it uses a latin, greek, or cryllic alphabet (idk how I learned to read russian). Just don't ask me what it means. I'm constantly bombarded with "How do you say this?" in english, latin, and orchestra classes.

^ Ah, it's funny how things other people can do remind you of what you can do.

I'm a good pronouncer, but primarily I'm good at figuring out what (latin-based) things mean. I've only ever taken 6 weeks of french and Spanish, but if I'm reading it and it has some context I'll generally figure out 90-99% of what it means. Without context yields me anywhere between 40-70%, depending on the roots used. I played FreeRice in French and I got to level 10 O_o

 

[Velocir_X]

I can pass any my grade level (+ 2 or 3 :P) exam without studying

and I never need notes I just suck it all up

 

[Gray]

Same, I rarely look at anything I don't need to and get about a high C to an A*.

 

[Velocir_X]

I always get As for some odd reason O.o

 

[Spoo]

Yeah, I pretty much never study. Only I remember everything to know from the initial lesson. I guess that means I have a really good memory.

Also, if I suck at something, I seem to get really good at it if the reason I'm doing it is suddenly very important. I noticed this in music class a long time ago.

 

[Gray]

I aced the music tests, full marks everytime... why?

Because we practise the same 3 chord song for 3 years... or music department is a joke. :\

 

[Spoo]

Just out of curiosity Gray, what'd you play?

My weird talent is that I'm white yet I play the sax.

 

[Gray]

I played keyboard.

 

[dadevvtsvre]

People say I have a photographic memory. I can memorize a list of twenty or so things in less than a minute, in order. I dunno if that's a pretty good memory or if it's just average but most people I know think it's impressive :/

And I guess I'm a quick learner. It took me two days to learn how to solve a Rubix cube on my own. (with the help of the internet, of course)

 

[Venetia]

im like dr. doolittle in a way i guess
animals are generally very cool around me
but i think that's more because i act very confidently toward them and they respond to it
anyway its for the best since i want to get into wildlife biology

same goes with bugs though D:
if im outside lemme tell you, i will be literally covered in bites in no time

 

[promiser]

Other "weird" talents...
I can dismantle any machine and put together almost anything mechanical
I often can think of inventions for weapons
Amazingly bad memory
I learned to fence better than my instructor (Who has been fighting for almost 30 years)
in under 2 months
I can sight read all music and can play just about any instrument by just picking it up. I've only ever learned to play the cello, viola. ukulele, piano and recorder

 

[Dalton]

Just thought something I didn't mention so far, as I don't know if it counts as a talent...

Because of some strange mutation of my body I'm immune to the flu. You could try anything you want my body just wont get infected with it.
And as convenient as it sounds, it is actually a pain, since my immune system is totally going berserk with this strange body and tries to kill me whenever it has to fight certain bacteria.

I don't know if this is weird or not, but I'm just really flexible. I can scratch all of my head with my toes, front and back, and I can bend back until my head is a few millimeters away from my head, when I stand up I can bend back into and arch. Although I do acrobatics I'm naturally flexible, people say that when I go into and arch from standing, my back looks like it has a hinge in the middle, people scream the first time I show them it. The first time I saw what I could do myself I started having nightmares of my back snapping like a twig.

Anyway I think that this topic is a good one.
Thank you and have a weird day! :cheers:

I can bend back until my head is a few millimeters away from my head

Wow that's impressive... lol.

 

[Gulch666]

well, im like 99% ambidextrous, i can even write left handed. its fun when i on occasion go bowling with a few friends to bowl right then left every frame, its fun to pick up spares with my left.

eh, i pick up new skills fast.

im really good at rambling for hours and typing out nonsensical blocks of text that when i type them flow nicely, like im talking, but when i read them they dont really work out too well lol

and im gonna do a little long word drop for you guys. hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, the fear of long words. that would fuckin suck to have, cause your the name of your fear of long words is a long ass word. i dunno i just had to post this cause up some posts people were talking about spelling and dictionary stuff, saw a long word, made me remember this

 

[Zeriab]

I got this weird talent to make people think I am smarter than I really am.
