Very Trivial Superpowers

I too share this curse. I see right through people. It is awful. Intuitive and don't miss anything.
INTP.

I can fool intuitive people at will.

Convince them I'm a rich atheistic, ultra right wing new age conservative megalomaniac pious scary down and out in your face nice pleasant person with one twitch of my brow.
After analysing me I go all personality illegible, (hard to read)
It passes the time on trains and buses.

Nah, I'd never do that....:);):eek

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet gone to college.

Ah I wouldn't worry about it Capt'n, the important thing is at least you tried.

I could put my feet behind my ears too up until very recently.

I can also pinch with my toes. My family cant so I can never have a proper toe-pinching pinch off with someone.

People think I'm good with technology and computers but really theyre just too lazy to read the instructions which will always tell you how to do everything right

I can type at 90 WPM but only if I'm looking at the keyboard.
I can do really good squats even though I'm not the fittest person you've ever met; I'm quite proud of it actually because I still have a good bit of weight to lose (4.5stone gone since July), another 4 to go.

I am EXCELLENT at cooking rashers.
I grill them and I always turn them at EXACTLY the right time and then dish them up when they're crispy but not hard.

I make the best roast potatoes ever and everyone who's tasted them agrees.

I can read really quickly. I'm constantly turning pages when I'm reading a book and my other half does be saying "You havent' read that page already have you?".
No excuse for slow reading!

Im amazing at just knowing the time, without having looked at a clock (or the sun) recently. Not the general time, either, Im talking give or take 5 mins accuracy
I can also type 100WPM, accurately (80WPM? How cute! :P)
I have excellent, above average eyesight
I know all my friends phones number off by heart, without ever having gone out of my way to learn them (though this could be due to the amount of call me's I send lololol)

150WPM is where impressive typing starts

The training on a stenograph machine requires the person to pass writing speed tests of up to 225 words a minute on their machine in the United States, as set forth by the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) in the United States. Only a small percentage of court reporting students per year are actually able to do this. The drop-out rate of stenographic court reporters is very high. The tedium of this type of job is believed to be the cause of this problem.

I can't even do 40 wpm myself, dictation software is where it's at

I'm one of those people who reads as "nice" and everyone talks to. I am a person with Asperger's and I had to actually become a nice person so I didn't let everyone down, lol. Airline stewardesses invariably pick me to put the unaccompanied minors next to, so much so that I used to carry kids' books on my Kindle in case they were bored. Oh, INTJ (drops mic).

Also, I can write upside down and backwards with both hands simultaneously, with my eyes closed. It is not easy, I admit, but it won me a few bets in college.

I can hear well beyond most people. It was discovered (at 38 years old!) during a full medical. Weird, huh, I always thought everyone heard what I heard.

I remember being tested in school at the age of 5 or 6 and the examiner telling the teacher I was cheating by watching him press the button to cause the noise and then responding with my button. Teacher gave me a casual backhand to the side of the head and sent me flying so then I deliberately got a few wrong.... the 70's eh...
