Not really. Apparently I'm good at spelling, but I don't really notice or care. My IQ is 101. That's what I call extremely average.

High IQ (148), excellent visual imagination and pattern recognition (failure analysis and forensic science are areas of strength for me). I can also absorb information on a subject extremely quickly. My maths skills are not that great, it's my ability to visualize the systems they represent that sets me apart.

I have a talent for patterns and codes.
I can learn languages, mathematics and musical instruments very easily, and anything branching off from these. I also have a reputation for being an efficient code breaker.

When I was younger I used to memorise loads of number plates at once and be able to recall them accurately months after but I stopped doing that because people thought I was weird. But now I mainly focus on computers and maths. :D

I got a very strong associative memory.

If you know the show "Chuck", that's kind of what i mean, i remember almost everything i hear or read, but i cannot recall at will, rather, the information just pops up when something triggers the memory (like: a question about that topic)

I wouldn't call myself savant, but I have been told I have higher than average skill with technology and electronics, namely computers. My school let me work with the IT director for one period a day - and I get a free credit for it! (I'm the first in 5 years they offered this to. I'm still surprised by it.)

That's just like me in a way except if I put my mind on something like math I can pick it up pretty quick and remember how to do it after the first time I did it. Also if you are posting about IQ, I got a interesting read for you all, read Mismeasure Of Man by Stephen Jay Ghoul and Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Ghatto. You people might get a suprise about iq and some other stuff. Not going to push it but it's up to you guys. :wink:

One of my greatest talents is offending people who want to remain stuck in their sickness.

I don't consider myself to be very smart or skilled, even though i have a lot of (what others might call) talents. I have an eidetic memory and can easily recall a lot of things from my past, even the early childhood days. Above all i am interested in a lot of things that all have become obsessions that don't make me just focus but hyperfocus. Sometimes i can even learn multiple things at once.
Learning facts and the distinction of patterns are what i can do best.

There is a wide range of things i am obsessed with. It covers music (creating, playing), writing (stories, short stories, articles), science (most importantly forensic science, neuroscience, medicine), languages, movies, and tv shows.

Posting about my own IQ on here would be irrelevant, since that doesn't prove whether i am skilled or not and is nothing but a meaningless guideline anyway. At least that is what i think. :wink:

Please mind that English is just my second language, so i am already sorry for any mistakes i am definitely going to make.

Not amazing. I have very high, untrained skill in a extremely limited area.

Patterns..

The best way i can describe it is take a 1000 piece puzzle and dump it out and look at the box top. I can then without touching and of the pieces find the matching parts. and complete the puzzle in very short order. I do that with everything broken rocks broken, glass, you name it. If there is a pattern i will see it and put it back together. I can take a pile of flag stone look at them and lay them in a pattern and end up with side that are flat with all the odd angular side matched up with matching angles.
I used to be able to see patterns in number and to be able to see where the patterns would take me. I lost that in about he 3rd grade because i became so bored with school because they were taking so long to teach me about things i didnt already know about. But thats a different story.

Also with that as I am working the patterns and putting the puzzle back together. I am able to go from the finished product to where and when the product came from. I see things in the most minute detail, i force myself to not do that because its becomes over baring.

Is pissing off others a talent? If not, then I don't really have a talent. My IQ is of about 120.
