I can jump really far  without the need for exercising. like 6 feet standing long.
And I suppose I am in the top 99% of people in the whole world at starcraft, rts games.
I also once won a race in a contest of millions. (sperm cell race).
It's hard to have a talent because when people get good at something they tend to specialize in it. There are likely many people (1%) in the fields you are above average at, who've spent more time developing that specific specialization. I like to think that having some useless talents doesn't really put them ahead of me in any way... it makes me feel better. Well Except for magicians .... curse them and their girl stealing ways...
Girl: Oooh... how did you do that!!?!?!1
Magician: A magician never reveals his secrets
Girl: Do another!
Magician: How bout I make your clothes disappear into thin air!
Girl: uhmmmm.... ok
Me: *in corner* *cries* D;

I'm a clarinetists currently in my lastish year of undergrad, planning on going to masters and then praying there's a job opening.

Lol yeah I was bored

I can solve the cube in 56 seconds! :D
Talent? Being good at whatever I want to be good in. I can't stand losing, and I can't stand sucking. Good, not the best.

Cool to see other cubers here! :D My best 3x3 time is 20 seconds. I'm working on learning how to blindsolve before the spring semester comes around.

... and i thought i solved the cube fast... ill practice even more!!

hehe cubers ftw!
i was decent at the cube, ~30s average, ~3min blindfolded. kind of went on to experiment with other twisties though. the accomplishment i'm most proud of is a 4x4x4 bld solve, even though the time was abysmal.
haven't done any of that for quite some time now though, T_T

T.T i feel stupid with you guys, i thought i solved it epicly but then i see up here JeeJee solved the 4x4x4 blind thats AWESOME

I can write like the dickens. I also bring the pain in Gears of War 2, even though that's not so much a natural talent as it is a testament to my long-term commitment to endure a thoroughly subpar multiplayer experience.
As for you other posters:
First of all, I didn't know that solving Rubik's Cubes for speed was such serious business, but I guess there's a subculture for just about everything. Crazy. I'm heading over to youtube now to see what I can see. And second of all, I'm pleased that there are musicians among us. I have no history with or inclination towards musical virtuosity. It's always been really impressive to me, though.

self taught Piano player since '08
Learn languages easily (currently speak 5)
Dance Salsa (my friend is an instructor  )
I believe that's all I have to offer other than personality & Intelligence (which I believe to be common in TeamLiquid anyway)

My blade can cut through armor and still slice a tomato

Learning and adapting is my skill,
-self taught guitar, drums, piano (not too much piano)
-absorb info
-good at most sports
-teach myself random shit to keep busy
-like being a jack of all trades
I was actually gonna make a thread series about learning new random shit, have one ready to go, maybe I'll save it for new year's. I wanted to know where to put it, but kennigit never responded so I'll just throw it in blogs (unless a mod says I can do otherwise).

10.39s PB signing in. 
And I have a 1:55 blindfolded, and a 6/7 in 55 minutes multi blind.
All unofficial.

games. all kinds of games, board, card, computer. to a smaller degree consoles as I've never owned one, but even there I pick up stuff quickly. no matter what game, I understand the purpose of the game, how to be good, what others do wrong, etc, a lot faster than well, anyone I know, at least in RL.
I'm also very "pedagogically talented".

I'm a decent(?) guitar player (still have a lot of learning to do, though)
And I can solve the rubik's cube in....(times self) an average of about 1 minute. =D

Since when does solving rubik's cubes constitute talent. It's all memorization...
I think people view talents as something you're really good at.
I think of talents as something you can pick up extremely quickly with little prior exposure.
By my definition, I'd say I'm really good at any sort of mathematical puzzles.

No, because I have all the algorithms memorized for my method, but my personal best is a 39.50 single solve. After you memorize everything, you need very good pattern recognition, and other people can look ahead better than I can. Also, for the first few steps in the method I use (Petrus method), it's all about intuition, not memorization.

it's only memorization if you want it to be that way
my blindfold method for example is/was freestyle -- i can do whatever i want to solve it, whether that be existing algorithms, making up my own algs on the spot, etc. it's a lot more flexible, way more efficient, faster, and scales to other puzzles such as larger cubes or completely different twisty puzzles like megaminx.
