What are your skills?

[Calibanbutcher]

I have a piss-poor sense of orientation.

I am a good cook.

I play the guitar.

I can sing my way around some songs.

I am reasonably smart.

I have a great memory, bordering on eydeetic sometimes, but I can not remember which date it is.

I am a good orator.

I am very very good in hand-to-hand-combat.

Oh and of course, I am an incredible lover.

 

[AngloDoom]

I...I don't think I have any skills, really.

I'm far too changeable - every few weeks I drop what I was doing and move onto something else. I haven't learnt an instrument, I don't know how to make anything, I don't know any other languages, I haven't participated in any sport long enough to say I've got any sort of proficiency in it...

Wow, this thread made me realise I'm actually pretty unskilled

Captcha: Don't waste time.

You've got a point there, Captcha.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

I can burn water while cooking and can drown faster than rock with lungs in deep water
Those are skills right?
....right?

 

[Dark Knifer]

A natural affinity for video games. I generally play better then others even if they've played the game before and I haven't...

Real skills? Loyal, reasonable and logical I guess. Humour and wit I think would be my strongest skills.

 

[DrunkOnEstus]

I can pick up virtually any instrument and make throw a song together out of it. Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano/Keyboard, Trombone, trumpet, etc.

At 25 years old, I can still 360 flip a skateboard and bust a 5-0 grind. I was very relieved to find that out for some reason.

If someone hands me a busted to hell desktop/laptop, I can get it up an running within a day (granted it's what I do for a living) BUT I HAVE NO INTEREST IN DOING IT FOR FREE ON MY ONE DAY OFF A WEEK, I'M SORRY.

I can read at a much faster pace than anyone I personally know in RL.

I can understand spoken Japanese, and read Kanji/Kana, but when speaking to a Japanese native I get nervous and make mistakes (ties a lot into the social anxieties, I believe).

A "toot your own horn thread", I like it!

 

[deserteagleeye]

I'm pretty good at those "Find the difference between 2 pictures" Megatouch games at my local bar.

 

[CpT_x_Killsteal]

And no this is not in any way shape or form a diabolical search for those with the skills to pilot the many many giant robots that I will no doubt create.

Well I am excessively good at piloting giant robots >.>

OT: I have an incredibly wild imagination and daydreaming takes up about 8 hours of my day does that count?

 

[MrTwo]

I'm good at most video games I pick up (except RTS's, grrr)

I write occasional stories whenever I feel inspired.

I *play* the guitar (its not that bad, actually, just not amazing)

If I'm in a good mood the puns and jokes just keep on coming.

 

[SH4DOWSL4Y3R]

I guess i could say i'm somewhat skilled at miniature painting, but i personally think there's a ton of room for me to improve.

It's not hard to tell i don't like feeding my ego.

 

[Bagged Milk]

I am absolutely fantastic at blinking.

 

[Evil Smurf]

It is genetically imposibru for me to get hungover, I can chat up anyone, look good, and really nice and super humble.

 

[NightHawk21]

IDK. As far as academics are concerned I have a very analytical mind and am great at setting up experiments to test stuff. I also pick stuff up easily which has unfortunately made me very lazy.

It is genetically imposibru for me to get hungover, I can chat up anyone, look good, and really nice and super humble.

You and me have obviously not be drinking.

 

[Cyfu]

I am an master procrastinator.
I have a physics test tomorrow? hmm, Just let me check if something interesting has happened on the escapist. and let me check if some cool videos have been uploaded to youtube and let me stumble a bit. oh shit, it's 23:30 already? fuck!

 

[thejackyl]

I'm a great listener.... But I hate people.

Go figure.

Pretty much this. That and apparently I'm extremely patient when I need to be.

 

[wolf thing]

I'm an alright drum (jazz drumming if you are interested), I'm an alright fencer (foil if you are interested), i know bits and peaces of physics, I'm alright with maths and I can build fences.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

Those kinds of skills?

I'm not sure what skills I have. Does being really nice, understanding and always happy count as skills?

I'd say your skill is making other people happier, which is quite a feat.

OT: I'm good at deductions and finding loopholes? My sister posted a question from her law class that they were supposed to figure out, and I solved it in five seconds, while her class took ages.

Spoiler: The question!

There are ten eggs in a basket. Ten people take one egg each, but there is one egg left in the basket. Why?

Spoiler: The answer!

The last guy nicked the basket with the egg inside!

I'm also a pretty good fencer too I suppose. Though if given a choice between the sword and the helmet, I'd pick the helmet. Those things are HEAVY. AND HURT!

 

[Berithil]

Well, let's see:

I've got a really good retentive memory,

I'm good at working with various computer data and the likes (Im by no means brilliant, but definitely much better than anyone else I know)
I'm good at repairing miscellaneous equipment.

I'm also pretty good with guns (specifically small handguns) and a while ago I tought myself how to pick a lock.

I can also move very, very quietly, even without meaning to. I have accidentally snuck on people and startled them without trying to. Either that, or people I know have very poor perception

 

[redisforever]

I'm good at making friends quickly. That is, unless I hate that person. Basically, I can get people to trust me fairly quickly.

Also, I can be very quiet, and people don't notice me.

I'm a good shot with most handguns, except I haven't fired a revolver yet, so I don't really know about that.

I'm really good at the Silent Scope arcade games.

I'm fairly good with computers, and can fix almost any day to day problem.

I can troll people like a god.

I'm really good at avoiding work.

 

[kjpmkjp]

Well, in regards to real-world (I'm using the term very loosely) skills that I have:

-I'm a very competent cook, and have above-average knife skills. My head is occasionally impressed with my ability to eyeball ingredient and spice levels in recipes (I'm a line cook, though I'm changing direction)

-In regards to that last point, I consider myself an above-average photographer. Currently going to school for that.

-I'm great at paintball (5-man/CXBL), floor hockey (i.e. nothing on your feet), and somewhat good at rugby, BMX & aggro rollerblading (it's been a while), and boxing.

-Apparently I'm extremely good as a salesman (or at least at convincing people). I guess this is just a joint combination regarding my near-ocd attention to certain details, speech pattern/tone and overall persuasiveness.

-I possess a phenomenal capability to not read female advances. In addition, every single girl I've dated or slept with has asked me out, with the exception of my current girlfriend. Others see this as a big deal; I don't really see the issue.

-I'm a good musician. I learned the violin at 5, and played consistently until 20. I play the double bass and guitar (classical initially, but I never really got the fingerwork down enough to my liking) on occasion.

-I have a fairly trained ear; quality speakers/monitors/headphones are a pretty big deal for me.

-I'm objective and honest to a fault.

-And I can't think of anything else.

 

[MammothBlade]

Good skills of deduction.
Great navigational skills.
Fairly good at strategy and tactics, can more than hold my own in chess and RTS games. Though here I am second-guessing my own abilities. Good, but not confident about it.
Adept at learning foreign languages if I put effort into it.
Moderately high technical skills, or just basic common sense when it comes to getting things to work.
Fair cooking ability, and good sense of smell.
