We must be twins separated at birth! Can you also tell direction (simple N-E-S-W) when usual clues (like the position of the sun) are not visible?That’s one of my BFF’s superpowers. That and winning those Skill Crane games without spending more than $1-2 max. I have a great West compass- the mountains. When my dad visited CO and drove around the city in his RV... I said- look to the mountains for west... He got lost many times, so I'm not sure of his internal compass- LOL

I can look at a map (online or old paper road atlas) and remember it in detail. My dd has the same type of visual memory. Long before there was Siri.. there was Betty telling the driver "Take the second exit and go right until the road ends. Turn left onto Old Bridge Rd. The road will curve to the left up here and then we turn right on the second street. Two blocks later turn right again on State Street. Cross the RR tracks and hang a left on Easy Street. The restaurant will be on the left after the traffic circle." LOL

Public speaking. I do it all the time as part of my job and love it. Excellent talent! Thank you. It is something that many people are terrified of but I've never been that way.

Firing people.No, I do not enjoy it. It is hard. But I am particularly good at it. I am also really good at teaching grown-ups, even those that don't want to be there, stuff.

I’d say negotiating or problem-solving. I’m kind of the person that friends and family calls or sends in to deal with situations when they hit problems.

Being alone. I seldom go anywhere and I am fine with it. This came with age though. When I was younger this "stay home!" virus time would have made me nuts. Ignoring clutter and mess. No problem, I can look right past it just like a man

I know random facts about movies, the actors, etc. Can hear a line or less from a movie and tell you what movie it is. Solve word puzzles. Research. I am good at finding info.

Organize homes, offices, storage areas. One of my super powers is being able to fit more stuff than anyone else into a car trunk, closet, etc. Very good with directions and map reading.

Being in charge, I have sat down at a table with ten strangers and when they are asked to pick a leader, they all point to me. Teaching - even my daughters think this is my super power.

Keeping secrets
If you tell me something and ask me not to tell anyone, I won't. As one school mum found out when she told me all about her falling out with another mum, I guess because I chat to all and sundry she thought I'd tell everyone but I didn't mention it at all. I had to smile to myself when two days later, in the company of me and other mums she shared her story. Clearly I'm a rubbish gossip.
