What are your skills?

[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.

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.

 

[Patrick Buck]

I can grow 100 feet tall, and destory Tokyo with one swing of my mighty "Tail".

I'm pretty good at writing I guess, I've been told once. But I don't know how far thats true but meh...

And I'm fabulous.

And By that I mean I'm good at collecting gifs for use on the escapist?

[Mr. Highway]

Im a Diver (under water not off things)
and skilled in microbiological lab techniques and Forensic analysis' and pharmaceutical processing....
Other than those im pretty good at BF3

 

[felbot]

i am awesome at doing nothing.

also i was told that i spoke English way better than most of my classmates though i am not sure how true that is.

im certainly better than the girl who pronounced the s in island

 

[Something Amyss]

I'm (or rather, was) a board certified electronics technician and fiber optics technician. The latter test I barely passed, though, and I bet I'd fail if I did it again today.

I'm a passable musician and possess relative pitch (Not as good as perfect pitch, so I'm jealous of those with it)

I can grow an awesome hobo beard.

I'm Batman.

I'm good at self-education. Now, if I had any discipline, I could probably learn Latin in my free time.

I'm good at things that involve putting my hands on others. I'm good with massage, I learned quick in Aiki Jujutsu, and I have a list of lovers who would attest to my "manual" skills. Just ignore the things they say about me being psycho. They never found that body and I can totally show you the polygraph result.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

I tend to be a very organized and tidy individual. My work often times seems to reflect an absolute mess, but it is merely spread out in order for me to grasp my work and turn to information or sources quickly. I can easily and neatly clean up my work without a moment's notice.

I also have a big attention to detail. Even the smallest, faintest signs to objects, sounds, or feelings will always catch my senses and allow me to analyze the situation accordingly. I tend to also find things that others tend to miss.

Another thing I'm fond of is being able to acquire research and being a quick study. I can research any subject, familiar or foreign, and be able to report my findings in a neat and presentable fashion. It's literally gotten me through the harder half of my college years. I can also learn fundamentals with ease, so long as I have a credible source to reference and I am able to apply it in practice.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I can draw pretty good. I drew my avatar myself.

Check this if you wish to be wowed.

I'm also good at turning 30 tomorrow.

 

[Thomiroth]

I'm good with people. I'm apparently great at listening. I'm also enough of a 'Renaissance Man' to be able to at least hazard a good first approximation on any topic. I'm also one of the few people who will say 'Okay, we'll go with your idea' if I'm unsure of the correct answer to a situation (according to one of my friends), though if their answer is clearly hurtful or wrong, I won't be following it. First Law, and all.

 

[Schadrach]

Codito, ergo sum?[footnote]I know that is not proper Latin vocab, stole it from ThinkGeek and I don't think there's a Latin word that means that.[/footnote]

 

[Esotera]

I've got an acceptable level of understanding in Python, and can pick up the basics of most programming languages fairly quickly. I also have a way with the written word, which is very useful for bullshitting people.

 

[BlackStar42]

Let's see...

I can play the guitar reasonably well.
I can sing not too badly.
I can do both of the above at the same time.
I can drive a car with manual transmission, which is apparently unusual in the States.
I'm quite good at being diplomatic.
I learnt martial arts, got good, and I remember most of it.
I can shoot a bow. The ladies love a man who can hit the spot, right?

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

My skills? Okay, I guess here are my best:
- Graphic arts, specifically digital painting/raster graphics. (No vector logos for me.)
- Driving cars/other small vehicles well (I know way too many people who are either admitted crappy drivers, hate driving, or can't drive. Such is what you get in the big city.)
- Shooting small caliber rifles and handguns
- I learn academic topics easily and am pretty smart.
- I'm pretty strong, so I guess "picking up heavy things" is a skill not everyone has.
- Writing prose.
- I can waterski like a boss, but this isn't exactly a useful skill.
- Sailing.
- Improvising the hell out of a situation.
- Jiu jitsu.

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

Awesome, another person immune to hangovers! I wonder how many of us there are.

 

[the_dude_abides]

I have an iron stomach. I have eaten things that have made my friends puke for days.

 

[kannibus]

Ultimate skill: The ability to acquire beer, no matter where or when I am.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

I do what I can.

You can fence? That's pretty rad. Is it really intense to duel people? :O

Fencing is mostly about mind games, speed and reflexes. I usually use the first few rounds to get a feel for my opponent, then the fun begins!

I once went up against a friend from my fencing class. We've been fighting for the better part of a year so we knew each other very well, almost too well as it turned out. We clashed for 10 minutes without either of us scoring a point. Had to declare a draw in the end because both of us were too tired to continue >.<

So yes, it does get quite intense =P

 

[Stasisesque]

Is writing a skill? I like to think of it more as a passion - one other people are willing to pay me for.

There are a lot of things I enjoy doing, but whether that makes them skills or not I'm not sure. I certainly don't have anything I could add to, say, a civilisation trying to pick itself up after an Armageddon. Unless there are any equestrian competitions in said dystopian future. I'd rock those.
