What is your savant skill?

Please tell me about savant skills?

I don't have any. I'm just mediocre.

None here either.
As a kid I was quick at learning to read and good at learning music theory, but not to a savant level.

I do fairly well at some things. Pretty poorly at others.

I’m a savant when it comes to howling like a wolf.

None

I'm not a savant, but I'm fairly good at higher-level mathematics.

I'm good at remembering information/facts about various subjects, but that's all I have going for me and I'm not even a "savant" at it.

Arts & crafts

I don’t even have any talents, let alone any savant skill.

I did some heavy duty structural innovation for about a year, but then it led to personal problems with others on the job, and I've never been able to focus as well since.

That is stereotype.

No savant skills here. I'm okay at a lot of stuff, really good at nothing.

Math maybe? But not to the point where I'd call it a savant skill. So none I guess...

If I ever have one, it would likely be in the area of mental visualization. I use it extensively to do research. With it, I can unravel the substructure of matter/anti-matter particles as if they were frozen in time or under my controlled movement. It can also be used to see the interactions between multiple dimensionalities at the same time. To the average person on the street, this is a worthless skill to have. I doubt that it is a true savant skill.

It is said that Nikola Tesla could do similar mental imagery with electrical devices that he was designing. He could mentally test them in his head before he would even draw them on a piece of paper. I can look at an electrical object and get a good mental “x-Ray picture” of how it may work. However I cannot do what he did. I am not very good at building electrical devices due to my color blindness preventing me from wiring.

On my non-savant skills list, I can absorb incredible amounts of chemical data in a very short time. I used this skill to my advantage to pass “impossible” cume exams in grad school. This process involves utilizing the data, not just rote memorization techniques. It is just something that I can due when I need to get something done quickly.

The closest savant skill I have, apparently, is to surprise people on regular basis -- myself included.

That is, if being unpredictable is even considered an ability along with language, memory, maths, etc...
