I can knit and embroider. Do they count?
Seriously, from as young an age as I can remember, I wanted to read every book I could get my hands on and learn how to do anything I saw someone else doing. I didn't see any difference between studying the Roman Laws of Jurisprudence, taking an engine apart, and learning how to bake a cake. Although my attempts at running anything under a mile were embarassing, I was a good long-distance and cross-country runner, a decent rugby player... shooting, darts, snooker... I have raced motorcycles and cars.
But I enjoy the challenge of learning something new more than the challenge of learning how to excel and I guess my only abiding interest which falls in the talent category would be singing. I started back in the sixties and until a couple of years ago when my breath went, I was still guesting with local bands.
