I've been told I'm a very good driver, in the sense that people feel safe and comfortable in the car when I drive, and can fall asleep easily. I also usually get better gas mileage than even the manufacturer's claims. Learnt that while transporting sick and injured people for the Red Cross.

I've been told I'm a very good cook, and am often asked to taste test food and tell if something is still missing. It's a result from having been poor for 2 decades and a need to make tasty meals out of whatever ingredients were available or about to spoil. You get creative with combinations and learn what works and what doesn't, that way.

And people seem to be impressed with how good I am at fixing or figuring out technical and computer things.
Although all I really do when I troubleshoot is mentally break the system down into small parts and then apply the scientific method (or the Sherlock Holmes method, I guess) of ruling causes out until only one possibility remains.
By the way, that principle is perfectly described in the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".
