    ^ is a bit unnecessary, some might find it interesting to know what others are good at. Provided its not all common stuff, I find it interesting and think its good when people are good at stuff that isn't common.

    Depends what you call skills, when I read the thread title I was thinking of something more significant than say, being able to drive as that's something most people can do (please, no obvious responses to that).

    Anyway, normal stuff...

    I can drive, I'm a good cook, can paint and do DIY pretty decently... Most normal things I can do.

    Slightly out of the ordinary:

    I can draw and paint well, both traditional and digital art and design; know my way around illustrator, photoshop etc

    I'm a CG artist, know my way around 3D applications like Maya and Max

    I'm good with animation and also know my way around motion capture

    Decent enough photographer but wouldn't say I'm great

    I can script (C#, PHP, HTML, JavaScript) - that's a learned skill and not a natural thing

    I'm pretty good with video and audio editing and compositing, getting to grips with VFX

    So a load of creative stuff really.

    ETA: I can also clay sculpt, but haven't done that in years... Do a decent job with pumpkins so I've learned. Lol

    Note: do other people know they are good at things but never feel they are good enough?

    Hey Fizix, do you have a website?
    It's quite a coincidence but I share almost all of the skills you've listed there.
    I can't drive though.

    I can breathe & stay upright, almost at the same time. And like Arcana I too can touch-type, at almost 7.5 wpm. If I look, its closer to 10.

    Let's see - plumbing, most things mechanical, can sort out people's PC woes, mend a puncture on a bike in a white shirt without getting grubby, can strip a bike and rebuild it so never need to trouble a bike shop; can tune a guitar and play it to a reasonable standard, can pick out a bass line for son #2 to drum along to; decorate a room, mow a lawn to green stripey levels of perfection, (used to) read Mr Men stories with ad-hoc variations & made-up bits that had the kids crying with laughter and wife hoofing up the stairs pointing out I'm supposed to be getting them to sleep. Can write a web site, programme to a decent standard, understand R3, read the Mail without wanting to kill myself, drive a tractor. blah blah....

    You will probably have loads and loads of other skills.
    I used to tweak CVs once and I found some people would leave loads of stuff off their skills and achievements that I knew they were capable of or had done.

    Well, I've done some fairly major DIY stuff including rewires, replacing joists, building walls and even roofing despite being scared of heights. I can ride a motorcycle and have taught learners in the past. My presentation skills are pretty good and I'm comfortable addressing large groups.

    Through what I do for a business I plan a major house installation of AV gear and project manage it to completion. I am a dab hand at interface design for control system. This includes some creative work with 2D and 3D graphics.

    I believe I'm now the only person in the UK available to install and converge hi-end CRT projectors. I am also a outstanding at image calibration to reference standards.

    I am good at swimming. I'm not confident at most things, but I feel so free and confident in a pool. When I was swimming regularly over the summer sometimes I'd get people stop me (usually older ladies or older men heh) and tell me I have a lovely swimming stroke, and it makes my day every time. :)

    I am a reasonably skilled fighter - nothing amazing, but I like that I can get in a ring and have a go at fighting.

    I am skilled at writing concisely. Academic writing is one of my definite strengths, and I love it. :)
