What talents do you have that would surprise people?

Nothing. I have no talents at all. Not only am i without talent, but i am also rather unintelligent. And unsurprising.

That I'm halfway strong--people think because im on the "petite" side, I cant do anything. Back when I had gym class, people were amazed when I could do pushups and bench press-it drove me
nuts. As far as more unusual talents, I think most of mine have yet to be discovered.

I don't think I have many talents and those that I have, everyone knows about.

I'm pretty athletic and I think that surprises some people. I'm 6'2, 200 lbs and I don't exactly look
like I would be good at sports like basketball or baseball, but I am pretty decent at athletics.

I used to be in my high school's colorguard, so I know how to twirl a flag. I'm also a good listener, good advice giver, and a good typer :D

Many people are surprised to find that I am a software developer. It is a talent associated with young men, not with grandmothers.

People are surprised when they see the pet portraits I have drawn. They are pretty good, if I do say so myself. :-)

I'm smarter than I seem.

I can play trumpet, and parallel park really good.

Most people don't know that I'm artistically inclined and that I play the piano.

Tracy, 24

None.

Um. . .I don't know. Most of my talents are common knowledge, and I'm not sure the ones that aren't common knowledge should be.
