Game World!: What are some examples of talents?

Probability Comparison: Talents

That is determined by the context of your question. As a HR & Recruitment advisor, to me ‘Talent’ means job seeker or candidate, and is broken down into the following 4 categories, unless one fits into the fifth category, which I’ll tell you about at the end.

Active Talent

currently looking for work

Inactive Talent

when you have found work through another recruiter or own source or decided that the extra cash your current employer has offered you will solve all of the reasons you were looking to leave your job to start with (fyi, it won’t - I’ll speak to you in 6 months about a new job again I promise)

Successful or Placed Talent

when I have placed you in a job and won’t be contacting you about another job, because fishing from your own pond is not a good business decision…

you, as the ‘Talent’ have been placed “On A Temporay” assignment

And the fifth one, which every ‘Talent’ wants to avoid is the DNU category. DNU stands for Do Not Use, and usually means the ‘Talent’ has wasted both the recruiters and employers time and/or has been a general pain in the ass throughout the recruitment process.

So stay away from 5, and remember these gold nuggets of advice:

How To Find Your Passion - 11 Abilities (Which one is for you?)

The success of finding a job is 100% always up to the ‘Talent’.
Blaming a recruiter for not getting back to you is just code for ‘you’re lazy and couldn’t get past your fears or create a follow up system for your own job search’…
Looking for a job is a full time job - there are literally dozens of steps to securing a new job
Talent = someone that has mastered a set of skills and has a high level of emotional intelligence and can integrate within an existing team

My answer is different, kind of, to the other ones that discuss the actions of becoming talented. My answer is how you would go about monetising and changing your mindset to considering yourself ‘Talent’ in a pay for skill type of exchange, commonly known as employment :)

EDIT: Of course, I know better than this. Quora editors love to modify the source question and have no compunction for missing the subtle differences in the context of a question. For example, this question originated as something like, “What is a talent” which I answered below. That is a much different question than “What are some examples of talent?”. I’m not sure if the people editing these questions speak English as their first language because it seems like they are missing the context of most edited questions.

Original answer:

As I understand it, there are certain pathways that the electricity in your brain flows throughout your brain. As these pathways are repeated, we find patterns that start to emerge. When we experience anything new, the electricity in our brains follows the easiest paths to effectively deal with the experience at hand.

Once we have these pathways clearly defined, some side effects make it easier for some people to do some things. For example, people who are extremely graceful may have developed strong neural pathways that inform their physical abilities. They will be seen as having a “talent” for dance for example.

Others may have a good relationship to music and have a natural predisposition for talent that benefits from this. Musicians, singers, etc. may be “musically talented”.

Now, this does not prohibit others from learning a talent. Practice and determination can forge neural pathways that inform your talents. A talented bio-chemist gets his talent from studying and applying his talent.

What Is Your Hidden Talent? Personality Test | Mister Test

Talents are anything that is productive and you do it well or easily.

Anything you do, do it well. It should make you better and more experienced, and, in the long run, helpful to those you work for. You should do what you find that you like to do best. Finding your place to display or USE one’s talent is the hard part. Everyone has been given talents (scripture). It takes time to make fine wine. True also In school education and OJT. TIME used wisely is the secret. Work is the key. Although today, some play can produce results to earn a living from. If it doesn’t pay well after a couple of years of doing then one needs to find another thing you are good at. There has been recently found that there is a tie in to DNA and your soon to be found talents.

I have known of some of “my” ex-high school students that I was in school alongside who are still in the college I got my first Bachelor of Science degree in.

After I graduated, I was out in the world working while they were STILL IN that same college. ???? I am serious here.

In fact, later on in life, I got the chance to later get to teach in that same college. Years after graduating when I saw one that I remembered from High School. I thought he had graduated years earlier??? He told me of all of the programs he’d finished. Never ever gotten out into the world of work professionally. Very little work experienced from any of those majors and minors.

Why?

I could not get a realistic answer from him at the time. I have seen 3 like this in my life so they ARE out there. Now is that a talent or a waste?

So go figure.

Well, in the talent themes, which were introduced by Marcus Buckingham and are part of the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment, they fall into 4 Domains:

What's Your Hidden Power? A True Simple Personality Test

Strategic Thinking, which has specific strengths like Ideation, and Futuristic. Ideation represents that ability to generate creative ideas easily, and Futuristic is the ability to see what might be coming and be excited by that and plan for it. Several others fall into this bucket, like Learner, Input, Analytical.
Execution, which has the strengths that allow us to get things accomplished. Here you might find talent themes like Responsibility, Achiever, Consistency. People who are strong in these areas think about their world in terms of the tasks they have to complete. Both these domains are more task oriented than relationship oriented, and most of us fall on one side or the other naturally.
Relationship Building, which falls on the relationship side of things, is a domain that has strengths like Harmony, Includer, Developer, Connectedness - all ways of relating to other people.
Influencing, the 4th domain, has strengths like Communication, Maximizer, Competition and Command. People with strengths in this domain know how to take charge, speak up, and make sure the team is heard.

This is not a complete list by any means, and I’m not sure if this was what you had in mind, but it is a useful framework when working with individuals and teams who want to have all the bases covered and a balance of task-oriented and relationship-oriented people because we need both to thrive.

What's Your True Talent? (Personality Test)

Here is a list of possible strengths & talents which could be on your list.

I hate to throw a long list out here ... (long lists can seem daunting) but sometimes we get stuck and just need a nudge. Maybe a menu can solidify the confidence?

Before you read a book, attend a class, sign up for a membership, attend a university.... Know the big picture and what you will need to learn. Understand the topics first. As Stephen Covey says: "Begin with the end in mind."

Wouldn't it be great to be gifted? In fact... It turns out that choices lead to habits. Habits become talents. Talents are labeled gifts. You're not born this way, you get this way." - Seth Godin

What Career Best Suits You? | Personality Test

Here is a link to the alphabetical list in a simple spreadsheet where you can add, delete and sort your own abilities and strengths >

If yours includes singing, playing the piano or other musical instrument... you may have more opportunity than you realize. There is no shame if you can only sing, dance and juggle!

You are unique and special no matter what skills you have. (I guarantee it!)

I have worked with many people who became successful with very little money and skill. Their ability to recognize what unique skills & talents they possessed helped them to overcome barriers and become a success. Perseverance, prioritizing and focus were the determining factors.

How to use this list:

Put the list in order from your strongest skill at the top to weakest on the bottom and get ready for the next step.

If you feel you are advanced beyond this point... here are reminders:

You need to connect with people.

Build a list, Twitter, Facebook, meet ups, LinkedIn, and more.
Once you have a list, create events or a place online, a place to invite them.

This is where your character and expertise can shine.

To show how YOUR talent may have more value than you think, and could turn into something valuable... here is a video from Andy Cohen:

(If you do magic or juggle .... or even knit! Everything counts!)

Do you want to read more about understanding your strengths and recognizing them in others?

Talents are natural skills and abilities. It may seem like you’re born with them, or at least you learn them very quickly. Thus, we often call people “naturally talented”.

In this list, I’ll outline some examples of talents to help you think through what your talents might be … and maybe some things you’re not particularly talented at.

You can put these talents on a resume or a college application essay. You could also just list them to help you get a better idea of who you are and maybe even what jobs you might be good at! Let’s get into the list!

List Of Talent Examples

Artistic Talents

1. Acting – Actors have the talent of taking on a character persona and sticking to it during a conversation or, more commonly, during a play, film or television show.

2. Comedy – Comedians need to be able to read the room, deliver a joke at the right pace and tone, and of course have an excellent sense of observational humor.

3. Dancing – Some people are naturally talented dancers while others struggle with this! You can also include formal dance here like ballet or salsa dance.

3 Ways to Discover Your Hidden Natural Talent and Passion

4. Graphic Design – Graphic designers are artists who use digital technology to create their artworks, which often end up on advertising materials or even television shows and video games.

5. Magic – Magicians have the ability to deceive people’s eyes and minds! They can make people think they’re capable of earth-defying tricks.

6. Painting – This can be broken down into fine art painting, interpretive painting, modern art, and so on.

7. Playing an Instrument – Instruments can include guitar, piano, flute, drums, and so on.

8. Pottery – A calming art, this talent is useful if you want to sell pots, pans, cups, etc.

9. Singing – As with dancing, some are naturally talented and have ‘an ear for music’ while others struggle. But, of course, the ability to sing can be learned.

Sporting Talents

13. Jumping – People with the skill of jumping high can become excellent basketballers, high jumpers, or even goal keepers in soccer.

14. Rhythm – People with good rhythm can be good dancers, but also might be better musicians. Rhythm is a typical example of something that seems to be an in-built talent rather than a learned skill (although I’m sure you can learn to get better rhythm!).

15. Running – People who are talented runners can compete in running events or even sports like football, soccer, and lawn hockey.

16. Skating – If you’re a talented skater, you can participate in sports like figure skating and ice hockey.

Academic And Resume Talents

19. Brainstorming – People who are good at brainstorming will want to put this on their resume! It’s a skill that requires you to approach a topic from many different perspectives to see the best solutions to a problem.

20. Entrepreneurialism – An entrepreneurial person is always looking for ways to make money. They often see opportunities where others see risks and are open to taking on a challenge, hoping to reap the potential rewards for their effort.

21. Mathematical Thinking – Some people are naturally talented at thinking through numbers, statistics, and figures. But others just can’t get their head around it. So if you can think mathematically, this is a great talent to have!

22. Multi-Lingualism – A person who can speak multiple languages is going to be very desirable for an employer in this multicultural world!

23. Problem Solving – A problem solver is someone who identifies a problem and goes about addressing it. If you’re a natural problem solver, chances are you’ll be a desirable employee!

24. Reading – To be a good reader, you need to be able to read fast while also comprehending everything that is written. If you’re good at reading, you’ll be able to learn a lot and go far in life! (Read also: The Importance of Reading).

25. Researching – Good researchers can find information on a topic using things like the internet, phone calls, and the library.

26. Storytelling – If you’re good at storytelling, you’ll be able to tell your own story well in a job interview. But, you’ll also be able to craft a good sales narrative for a future employer (or your own business!)

7 Questions That'll Help You Discover Your Unique Talent

27. Strategic Thinking – A person who can think strategically is good at planning ahead and understanding the best ways to proceed after weighing up the risks and contextual factors.

28. Teaching – A lot of people think anyone can teach, but a talented teacher has the ability to simplify complex ideas so anyone can understand them. To do this, teachers use a range of proven teaching strategies.

29. Work Ethic – Work ethic is the ability to work hard and be honorable, trustworthy, and reliable to work with. These people will make sure the job will get done!

30. Writing – A person who is a talented writer can be a very desirable candidate for many jobs – like journalism, being an academic, or someone who writes pitches for clients.

Interpersonal Talents

31. Caring for Others – A person who is good at caring for others would make a good nurse, teacher, or parent! If you’re a caring person, you might have high emotional intelligence.

32. Leadership – If you’re a talented leader, you are able to motivate people, and you can identify other people’s talents and help them to achieve their own personal goals. You might also need to delegate tasks and ensure a group is managed fairly and justly.

33. Listening – Many of us are terrible listeners. We’re too keen to share our own thoughts rather than listening to others. A person who is a good listener has the patience to sit and hear others and care about what they say. You could use active listening strategies to improve your listening skills.

How to Discover Your Talents & Purpose in Life (and succeed faster)

34. Public Speaking – A person who is a talented public speaker will be able to stand in front of a crowd and command their attention. They know how to control their pace and tone of voice to keep people engaged.

35. Teamwork – A person who is good at teamwork can both listen and contribute in equal measure. They are good at making compromises, communicating, and brainstorming in a group.

Personal Talents

36. Communication – Some people seem to be naturally good at communication while others tend to make too many assumptions. If you’re bad at communicating, you might forget that you told someone something (or didn’t tell them). But a good communicator breaks things down, explains them slowly and clearly, and doesn’t miss important points, so that listeners understand.

37. Humor – When you have a natural understanding of what is funny and what isn’t, you’ll be much better at entertaining people! A humorous person seems to have this talent built-in so you either have a good sense of humor or … well, struggle to understand jokes! But, of course, humor is a very subjective thing.

38. Intuition – When you have good intuition, you’re able to understand things without having to go through logical reasoning to get to your realization. You often pick up small signals that give you a sense of what is true and what is not true very early on before you have all the data.

39. Money Management – A person who is talented at money management might be able to spend wisely but also invest wisely. A talented investor, for example, will know where to place their money so their wealth grows.

40. Organization – A person who is talented at organization is going to be able to manage a lot of different thing at once. They’ll know where everything is and will be able to retrieve either things or information with ease.

41. Patience – A person who has excellent patience will be able to sit through something that might be boring or tedious. A patient parent or teacher can also sit and wait while a child or student really works through difficult concepts and comes to a realization.

42. Punctuality – A person who is punctual always turns up on time to planned events. Punctuality is considered a sign that you respect other people and their time.

43. Resilience – If you have resilience, you’re able to bounce back from setbacks and forge ahead through adversity. You don’t give up easily and work hard to achieve your goals.

44. Resourcefulness – A resourceful person is able to find ways to solve problems using the tools available to them, such as the internet, tools, or even by finding other people who can help out.

45. Self-Reflection – A person who has good reflective skills is able to pause and think about their own strengths and weaknesses. After completing a task, you might turn around and reflect on how you can learn from your experience to always be improving.

46. Staying Calm – A person who is talented at staying calm has a big advantage in life. I think this is a talent because some people are ‘born with it’ while others really struggle. If you’re good at staying calm, you’re hard to get angry and you can handle a lot of pressure.

47. Time Management – A person with good time management is able to plan out their hours, days, and months to ensure they remain productive the whole time.

What is talent?

“Talents” is one of those buzzwords that gets thrown around in the HR world, but if you ask anyone to define it, you won’t get the same answer twice.

Are talents synonymous with technical skills you can develop? Or are they something you’re born with? Can you list or quantify talents, or are they simply the indefinable “je ne sais quoi” about a person? Depends on who you ask.

It doesn’t help that the word “talent” already has so many definitions in HR. It can be used to describe some core HR processes (talent acquisition and talent management), a noun that can be used to describe a group of employees or applicants (sales talent or talent pool), and now we’re using it to describe someone’s aptitude for something. Talk about confusing!

In this article, we’ll set the record straight – we'll define talents, how they differ from hard and soft skills, and how talents are integral to a successful recruitment and hiring strategy.

But first thing’s first, we need to get on the same page on what talents are.

What are Talents?

In their book First, Break All the Rules, Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman differentiate talents from skills and knowledge. “Skills” refer to the “how-to’s” of a role; whether you know how to create spreadsheets with Excel, code with Javascript, or weld. “Knowledge” refers to “what you are aware of,” and can be quantified with a degree or designation, like BA, PhD, and RN.

Talents are recurring patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior. In other words, they’re what come naturally to you. Whereas skills and knowledge quantify past performance, talents quantify potential. Talents might include innovation, adaptability, persuasion, communication, and teamwork.

You may have previously described these capabilities as “soft skills,” and in a way, “talent” is another term for “soft skill.”

Examples of Talents

Talent	Definition
Adaptation	Adjusting to changes in the workplace while maintaining a positive demeanor.
Communication	Conveying ideas effectively and identifying messages others are attempting to convey.
Conflict Resolution	Bringing others together to resolve conflict and reconcile differences.
Decision-making	Making high-quality decisions based on limited information.
Embracing Diversity	Understanding others' perspectives and dealing effectively with different types of people.
Execution	Setting goals, monitoring progress, and taking the initiative to improve your work.
Innovation	Generating novel solutions and creative ideas to solve problems.
Managing Others	Taking charge of a group and motivating group members toward common goals.
Persuasion	Convincing others of a direction, activity, or idea, and influencing decision-making.
Teamwork	Working effectively with people and cooperating with others.

The problem with the term “soft skills,” as HR thought leader Josh Bersin recently pointed out, is that it's a bit of a misnomer. In fact, both hard and soft skills are improperly named. “Hard skills are soft (they change all the time, are constantly being obsoleted, and are relatively easy to learn)," Bersin says, "And soft skills are hard (they are difficult to build, critical, and take extreme effort to obtain).”

The word "talents” does a much better job at articulating their function than “soft skills.” Especially because typical “soft skill” traits like communication, teamwork, and adaptability are anything but soft! They’re complex, and they are in high demand – the number one skills CEOs look for is a willingness to be flexible, agile, and adaptable to change. Those are talents!

Accurately quantifying someone’s talents, therefore, is a key component to a successful talent acquisition strategy.

Talents in Recruitment and Hiring

Talents are 4X more accurate at predicting someone’s job performance than their skills and knowledge. Yet someone’s talents are the last things to be considered in a hiring decision, if at all. It’s not that employers don’t want to expose these characteristics before making a hiring decision, it’s that they just don’t know how. Or at least, they don’t know how to quantify talents in a way that’s accurate and doesn’t slow down the hiring process.

And we get it, deciphering whether someone can remain positive amid change, be a collaborative team player, or execute under a tight deadline is next to impossible when reading a resume or conducting an interview! A job tryout – placing a job candidate into a role for a limited time to get an idea of how they would perform on-the-job – can do a great job at predicting whether or not someone has the talents to succeed in a role, but you also have to be realistic. It’s just not sustainable – nor efficient! – to get every single job applicant to trial a job for a week or two before making a hiring decision.

Thankfully, there’s another way!

Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychologists (who apply psychological theories and principles to organizations to improve hiring, training, and management) have spent decades understanding the make-up of talents and how to quantify them. This practice is called psychometrics – measuring knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and personality traits.

Traditionally, the only way to access this psychometric data was to pay large consulting fees. The resulting cost and lack of scalability meant that organizations opted not to collect psychometric data, and if they did, they did so in a limited capacity.

In the last few years, however, I/O Psychologists have developed scientifically-validated assessments that measure three critical aspects of psychometrics: personality, problem-solving, and social intelligence.

Hundreds of research studies have conclusively demonstrated the relationships between personality and job performance. Problem-solving scores consistently predict how successful candidates are in training and making effective decisions on the job. For many jobs, socially intelligent employees represent a competitive advantage.

Together, personality, problem-solving, and social intelligence form the foundations of talents. For instance, if an I/O Psychologist-validated assessment finds that someone is prone to persisting through ambiguity and change, operating effectively in stressful situations, and developing plans to cope with unexpected events, then that person would have the talent of adaptability. Alternatively, if the assessment found that someone displayed empathy in difficult situations, analyzed information to find the best solution, and examined issues from multiple perspectives, that person would have the talent of conflict resolution.

Forming a strategy to measure the talents of your job candidates is more than just a “nice to have.” A talent assessment is the most predictive way to place people into roles where they thrive, save for maybe the arduous and time-consuming practice of a job tryout. And accurately quantifying talents will only become more critical in the next few years.

IBM recently launched a study that included surveys across 5800 executives and found that approximately 120 million professionals need to be reskilled to deal with AI and new digital business environments. The study also found that the biggest gaps are not “digital skills” but behavioral skills. In other words, talents.

45% of CHROs believe that people coming out of college have the digital skills they need, but what’s missing is skills in complex problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership.

HR and business leaders that are intentional about quantifying the talents of their job candidates now can reap major competitive advantages in the future as the behavioral skills gap grows. Whereas skills and knowledge represent someone’s past performance, talents represent potential. With the right talent assessment in place, businesses can unlock the potential of their people and make better and more predictive hiring decisions.

Talent can,t be taught, But it can be awakened !!

Talent is a word for skills and ability. For some people, it is inherited from their parents and some develop it with lots and lots of practice. Talent is not something you can buy or weight. You need to learn it by observing.

You need to choose a particular category and research about it. Practice makes a man perfect.

A talent is an area that an individual can master such that they can generate significant value. The following are some common types of talent.

Art
Creativity
Dance
Music
Design
Knowledge

Talent is not only for achieving something. It will be useful in personal life also. It's useful in making decisions right, analyzing a situation, and maintaining character, suggesting others, influencing others by your character , etc.

Some of these types of talents are:

Influencing
Leadership
Personal Resilience
Professionalism
Self Direction
Strategic thinking
Self-management

It completely depends on the time you've for analyzing yourself. So everyone doesn't try for being the best from the beginning. You will become best by a lot of hard work.

TThank you!!

talent

If you are especially good at something, you have a talent. You can have a talent for singing or a talent for getting others to talk about themselves. People who work in creative professions are often called "the talent."

In Biblical times, a talent was a unit of money, and a New Testament parable tells of a master punishing a servant for hiding, rather than investing, a bag of talents in the master's absence. The interpretation of this parable to mean that you should not hide your "God-given talents" has led to the current meaning of the word as the special qualities a person possesses.
