You might have to look for a bit to find one ... According to this site here, you're well upwards of "highly proficient typists" and easily blow past many secretaries. :-o
Actually, with a bit of practise, you might be approaching Guinness-book levels ...
--- Quote ---According to RankMyTyping.com, secretaries that have taken the test rank around 74 WPM and the average 13-year-old performs around 23 WPM.
[...]
There are typists who extend far above and beyond the normal level of proficiency. According to "On the Reappraisal of Microeconomics" author Robert Ayers, a highly proficient typist can hit upwards of 120 WPM compared to the 20 to 30 WPM typing speed of a "key pecker." According to The Martin J. Whitman School of Management, Barbara Blackburn of Salem, Oregon holds the record as the fastest typist of all time. Blackburn could type at 150 WPM over a stretch of 50 minutes and peaked at bursts of 212 WPM.

-I'm unnaturally quiet when I walk, so much so that I have heard comments from quite a few people about how it's possible they don't hear me walk, given I'm 6'6 and about 220 lbs. Unless I have squeaky shoes, you won't hear my footsteps, even barely when running.
-I often sense things before it's widely known. Example: when I was about 10, I sensed my cousin was pregnant before anything showed and before she had told anyone. When I was about 11, I sensed my sister was having an affair with her (married) boss before anyone else found out.
-I have an unusual bone structure in my shoulders, which makes them kinda pointy. No soft shoulder to cry on alas :-(
I have yet to figure out how to make these things work for me in daily life... :roll:

Mine are rather boring.
1. Sight and hearing. I have 20/15 vision in both eyes at 37, as well as the ability to hear sounds up to 20KHz.
2. A digestive system that can survive anything I throw at it as long as it's not eggs.
3. For someone who is 6'4" and overweight, I'm somewhat ninja-like.

I don't have the greatest of relationship with electrostatic fields. Not only do I earth off on metal hand-rails pretty spectacularly when I am walking on heavy-duty carpets but I also have occasionally flash-drained batteries on portable 'phone handsets if I let my fingertips touch the charging contacts.
