Something you're just good at with minimal effort and/or you learned much more quickly than average.

For me, it's paper snowflakes. My brain just seems to effortlessly figure out what cuts to make to the paper wedge to make it turn out exactly how I want it. Largely useless, but good fun and was a much-needed ego boost when I was a kid :]

I have a good musical ear, not in the way of perfect pitch but I can find nice chord progressions easily. Could call it musical visualization perhaps?

I’m a perfect failure. If you hand me anything, no matter how complex or simple, I will fuck it up beyond all chance of repair and you will never figure out how it happened because even I don’t know.

Citation: my life, job, friends, ex-gf, family, hobbies, etc..

I'm a quick learner paired with being stubborn enough to keep trying things until I gain success or I'm at least satisfied with my failure.

Mathematics, dance, and remembering song lyrics. I passed the first to all of my children and the last to two of them.

My ability to whip a story up at the spot is pretty damn good. I run Dungeons and Dragons in a homebrewed world, and a good part of it is made up on the spot. While doing this, I always make sure to keep consistency.

The only thing I'm lacking is long monologues.... That is hard to just make up
