My gifts are:
Musical talent; I was very good at playing tuba, can sing quite well, and have written some orchestral music that won some awards.
Artistic talent; I'm a decent cartoonist, can draw and map things pretty accurately. I can read maps, diagrams and blueprints easily.
Creative; not always, but I can often come up with better/easier ways to do a task. THIS has got me into trouble at work sometimes, because managers hate it when some upstart comes in and does a job better than they dictated. Fortunately creativity helps in the drawing and music. 
Research and analysis; I love accuracy. Truth. Right. Some people have accused "you always have to be right"... well it's not the way most people think of that, where they're right simply because it comes out of their mouth - I like to research something and get to the bottom of it... to take all the little pieces of data and make a sensible conclusion and comprehensible "whole" out of it.
Mathematics and English; above average, but not genius. My spelling and grammar is far better than the average person (I can't believe how poorly some people spell - even teachers!) Same for mathematics. I can crunch numbers and see number systems better than average, but neither my math nor my English is good enough to specialize in... certainly not math anyway - I have problems memorizing those big, complex formulas that make no sense.
My WEAKNESSES will not be discussed here.

The same. As I've said, people behave like mechanisms, they respond to the same stimuli in the same way. I know what way of reacting of a human is expected in a particular situation. Everything one must do is to cause a particular emotion in people and voila! - you succeded, you get them like a spider who caught the flies into its web.

Are you trying to invoke fear in the reader? Because if so, it's working.
Anyway, I'm very creative, and I think quickly.

I don't know what Brian is trying to do but in my case it's only an assertion of a fact

Other than that I pretty naturally feel what someone else is feeling emotionally. . .sometimes this is good, sometimes bad. . .sometimes hard to control. . .freakazoid I know.
That's pretty cool that people confide in you. They have a tendency to do that with me - but it's hard for me to take it all in. Like sometimes I'm like - *why are you telling me this*.....then I have to remember that *empathy - it's good.....*....oh. OK.
