    Learning new things is pretty solid, I can go with that.

    I'd say I'm for sure above average at sprinting, any throwing sport (baseball, dodgeball), ultimate frisbee, injuring my shoulder/arms, math, levelling myself, and inability to talk to random girls at bars (not that my gf would mind that).

    not sure how this fits into the "things you are good at" category.. but I'm the same. I always reason with myself that if I were good at it, the girls it would work on wouldn't be girls I'd want it to work on, if you know what I mean.

    If I could, I'd link to a gif of the jedi mind trick. But I don't want to figure out how to find one.

    Vast knowledge of precious metals/coins
    A good eye for coins
    Very fast reader

    And I don't think anyone can beat me at spending time over analyzing situations to find tiny edges, where the time spent is -EV compared to the gain in EV of the situation (thanks years of playing LHE)

    Debate. Really, really good at debate.
    I also play a mean game of Warhammer.

    A lot of people tell me I'm really good at being a father. I'm pretty sure I just don't let her kill herself on a daily basis.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes
