My Talents
The 11 described characteristics in this talent check have been developed and tested according to psychological aspects with labor market experts and psychologists.
Let’s go into the definitions of talent and keep in mind: Everyone’s got a talent or probably several of them.
So, with that in mind make the most out of it: “Stop wasting your talents waiting for the right time!”
Unfortunately, not everyone’s aware of it or must even hide it from others such as family, society etc. Everyone’s talents are unique. Let your strengths speak for you. Show what is inside you.
Some might not have the chance to live out their talents as their making of a living keeps them quite busy – and the professional life only in best cases matches one’s true talents (or vice versa).
Principal Meanings

Ability is developed knowledge, understanding, learned or acquired abilities (skills) or attitude. The innate nature of aptitude is in contrast to skills and achievement, which represent knowledge or ability that is gained through learning.
