12. Eidetic textual recall.
I can recall virtually everything I've read since the age of about 15 (it's about a 15 year moving window, I lose the stuff on the far end unless it was important or meaningful) just about word-for-word verbatim.

I've never had to study for anything a day in my life. I do have to constantly mentally-check that I'm not plagiarizing something off the top of my head though.

I know what you're thinking. That seems like a useful skill...except that I can tell you what was on my grocery list from March 3rd, 2009 {eggs, almond milk, lightbulbs, pasta sauce and 13 other items} but the trade-off is that I can't remember where I set down my house keys 40 minutes ago.
