Are you sure you know everything about yourself? Probably not each of us fully knows what he is capable of. It happens that a person lives his life and does not even realize what is actually hidden in him. We all have some abilities and qualities of character that, surprisingly, somehow magically manifest themselves in us at the moment of need. It turns out that in order to fully understand our essence, we need to reveal what is hidden in us. The numerology of the name will help with this. So, let's take a closer look at how to correctly calculate the numerological number of our secret self.
Write your full last name, first name and patronymic on a piece of paper and write down all the consonants that make up this data. Then count the consonants and bring the result of their addition to a single digit number.
Example: Ivanova Tamara Stepanovna. There are 12 consonants in this full name. We add up the numbers that make up this number: 1+2=3. The resulting number will tell you about hidden talents and abilities.
Number 1- you have the makings of a leader and a talented organizer. If you still haven’t found these qualities in yourself, then you need to develop them. You know how to set goals and achieve them. Besides, your mind is very original ideas. If you haven’t noticed this in yourself until now, then try to discover these talents in yourself.
Number 2- you have the ability to psychological analysis. If you don’t understand people so well and find it difficult to find a common language with them, then it’s time to develop your communicative skills. If you succeed, you will feel how miraculously your life has changed. If you are thinking about choosing a profession, then you are recommended to pay attention to such specialties as psychologist, psychoanalyst.
Number 3- you have incredible Creative skills that you simply need to develop. Maybe once in childhood, you weren’t able to draw at all, or someone criticized your plasticine sculpture, after which you decided to give up creativity forever. You have an excellent imagination and a talent for creating beauty, but you carefully hide it.
Number 4- your hidden abilities and talents are the ability to think logically and work hard. In fact, you are a workaholic. If now you cannot say this to yourself, it means that the time has not yet come when you need to show diligence and patience in your work.
Number 5- there is an adventurer hidden in you. If you haven’t noticed this in the future, then you need to experiment on yourself. For example, spontaneously go on a trip or start doing something you never even dreamed of before. Observe your emotions: if what you do brings you joy and positive emotions, then you are definitely a hidden adventurer.
Number 6- you are a born actor! You need to develop your speech to perfection, develop your voice and, go ahead, build an acting career. You are, without a doubt, a creative person. Even if you have nothing to do with creativity, in Everyday life, most likely, you are still surrounded by works of art.
Number 7- you know how to interest a person and convey the necessary information to him. You have a hidden teaching talent. Not only can you help people gain knowledge, but you yourself are able to constantly improve and develop.
Number 8- you are ambitious and assertive. If you cannot achieve something now, then you should develop these hidden desires in yourself as quickly as possible. In fact, you have business acumen and strategic thinking.
Number 9- you are a very noble and merciful person. If someone calls you ruthless and indifferent, then something made you become that way. Find these qualities in yourself, help people and you will notice how the world will sparkle with new colors.
We do not always play the role in life that is intended for us from above. If you previously thought that you knew everything about yourself, now you realize that there is always an opportunity to know yourself better. If you begin to develop in yourself talents and abilities that for some reason were hidden, you will be able to change in better side not only yourself, but also the world. Don't stop getting to know yourself! And don't forget to click and

A person’s talents and abilities for a particular activity can be determined by the hills on the hand. This is quite simple...
When you are asked what personal resources you have, what do you answer? Are you listing material goods - cars, apartments, amounts in accounts? Are you talking about your wonderful job or excellent health? Or maybe about your own good friends and always ready to help relatives? Or start listing yours positive traits and skills? Are you sure that you know about all your talents and abilities, much less use them all?
My talents and abilities turned out to be almost the only resource that helped me overcome my midlife crisis. They are very important, especially in financially difficult times, when there is nothing else to rely on.
I offer you an exercise that will help you collect your abilities in a chest like treasure. If you are aware of all of them and you see them, you will be able to take out any of them as needed and use them to your advantage.
Exercise “Talent Chest”
By completing this exercise, you will assemble your identity, your “Self,” not only from what you know about yourself, but also from the opinions, observations, and projections of those around you. The exercise consists of four stages.
1. Make a list of your talents and abilities, dividing them into two parts: those you use and those you don’t use.
I use public speaking, literary, artistic and other skills. I hardly use my pedagogical and organizational skills. Because until recently I didn’t notice that I had them. And also because an internal critic prevents you from recognizing organizational abilities, prohibiting you from being powerful and dominating. For this internal critic, organizing something means commanding and managing people - there is an internal prohibition on this.
It helped me to see these abilities this exercise, and working with an internal critic helped to appropriate them.
2. Send your friends a list with questions about you.
I suggest the following questions:
- If you were asked who (your name) is, what would you answer?
- What do you see as mine? strengths?
- What strengths am I not using? How could I use it?
- What are my weak sides? What do you see as my zone of proximal development (talents that are felt and asking to be realized)?
- In what situation would you turn to me for help? Why? How could I help?
- What makes me unique?
The questionnaire must be sent to at least three friends. But the more people you know answer the questions, the better: you will learn more about yourself.
Some respondents should know you for more than 10-15 years - they will help you collect those talents that you showed in your youth, and then, perhaps, forgot.
Part - from one year to 10 years. They will discover those talents that exist now, but are poorly manifested.
And another part - new acquaintances. They don’t know you well yet and create an idea of you from their projections. They will notice new talents that have appeared not so long ago and that are not visible to the “blurred” eye.
3. Analyze the information received.
Collect all the information received in an Excel spreadsheet and analyze it. You will see how third parties' opinions of you will enrich your self-image.
Answer these questions yourself too. The most important questions, in my opinion, are about untapped talents and the zone of proximal development. I had many valuable insights. For example, about the fact that I don’t use my acting skills or ability to achieve goals much. Or about my zones of proximal development - the ability to defend my boundaries and inner peace.
Scientists and psychologists say that genius lies within everyone. But not everyone knows about their talents and predispositions. If in childhood every child had the opportunity to try themselves in different hobbies, find something they love, and develop this ability - it would be wonderful. But not everyone is lucky enough to discover their talents and find a hobby or even a profession of their life. Therefore, many adults live boring lives and go to work they don’t like every day. But this pattern can be broken - you just need to determine what the soul gravitates towards.
How to find your talent test
If we understood and intuitively felt what talents we have, there would be much fewer problems in society. But, often, it is difficult for many to recognize themselves. Even in childhood, some try to draw, play the piano or practice boxing. Realizing that this is not for him, a person quits after a while - he never finds his talent. But you can choose a shorter route - take a test to determine your talent. It's completely free and also fast - in just a few minutes you can find out what your talent is.
Talent test
The special value of talent tests is that based on the results of the answers, psychologists give practical recommendations. This does not necessarily have to be a calling to be creative; specialists simply help you discover hidden possibilities within yourself. So don't be surprised if the test reveals an aptitude for sports, teaching others, or running your own business. This is the talent inherent in nature, which millions of people so want to find and discover. And don’t forget that with the realization of talent can come confidence career And stable income– these are such pleasant bonuses for revealing your true self.
Everyone has a powerful creative potential inherent in their nature. But not everyone knows about their talents and is ready to develop them. Take this test to understand in which direction you need to realize yourself - and life will become happier and more interesting.
People around us judge us by what they see - how we speak, gesture and show our emotions on our faces. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, especially since many have learned to master these skills to create a positive image. Take this test to understand who you really are and what signals your subconscious is sending you.
- 3. Try new things
- 4. Go beyond the format
Every person has a talent - and more than one. This does not necessarily mean the ability to sing, dance or draw pictures. Repairing a car so that it doesn’t break down for a long time, throwing awesome parties for friends or finding lost things are also talents.
We also have abilities that we don’t even suspect about. Or we know, but have forgotten. Because they were not developed in childhood, or they were developed in the wrong way. While the son was realizing his mother’s dream and practicing scales on the piano, somewhere in him the talent of a great boxer or chef was slowly fading away.
But don’t be sad if you are sure that your talents remained unrealized in childhood or do not exist at all. They are there, just dormant deep inside us.
There are a number of techniques that help identify a person’s hidden talents and develop them. But today we will not talk about the development of abilities - this is a separate, complex and extensive topic. In this article I will tell you how to find out your hidden abilities, because this is the first and important step towards your goal.
1. Create a questionnaire for friends
Your friends and loved ones know you even better than you yourself. Ask them a series of leading questions - preferably in writing, in mail and on social networks:
- If you needed help, what problem would you turn to me with?
- What do I do best?
- Which of my activities (hobbies, work, entertainment) do I talk about most often in a positive way?
- If I could start all over again, in what profession would you see me successful?
- What can I do well, but don’t take advantage of this opportunity?
- Which of my inclinations should I develop?
2. Create a questionnaire for yourself
Relax, close your eyes and think about these questions:
- What do I really love to do, but don’t do because I don’t have enough time/money/energy?
- If I had a lifetime of stable passive income and didn't have to work, what would I do?
- If I weren't afraid of novelty and risk, would I change jobs? On what?
- What can I do for hours on end, not paying attention to anything around me (the activity should be creative, lying on the couch or drinking beer with friends does not count).
- What comes easiest to me?
Now summarize the results of both questionnaires. Your friends' answers will show the objective side of your talents and help identify hidden abilities that you might not know about. Self-analysis will help you understand which talent you like best. Developing an ability requires that you have the initial inclinations (it turns out well and easily) plus the desire and love for this activity.
It often happens that a person has talent, but he does not like this activity. Well, he doesn't like it! And it happens the other way around - it turns out very badly, but you really want it. The second option can only be used if the author does not torment anyone with the results of his creativity. Sing into a comb in front of the mirror, write poetry in a notebook and hide it in a drawer - no one forbids you to do this. But it’s better to discard the first option right away - you can’t force yourself to do something you don’t feel like doing.
Well, using the method of analysis you have identified your talents (after all, there may be several of them at once). All that remains is to develop it.
But how can you find out your hidden talents if they lie dormant so deeply that even asking your friends and yourself doesn’t help? Don't despair, because we have several more methods in stock.
3. Try new things
They say correctly: until you try, you won’t know whether you like it or not. There are thousands of hobbies and interesting professions, a lot of sports and creative entertainment. Take it - I don’t want it.
Go to the shooting range - maybe you have a keen eye? Sign up for a master class on sculpting from polymer clay or sewing interior toys. Go hiking and kayaking, restore your old furniture, bake an intricate trot, knit a scarf. Make a basket out of wicker, sing a song, ride a motorcycle. We can continue endlessly, because this list is inexhaustible.
And remember - it’s never too late to learn something unexpected about yourself; real life consists of such revelations.
4. Go beyond the format
Do you analyze, try, but can’t figure out if you have the ability? Definitely there. It’s just that many, having watched enough talent shows, are sure that their abilities are not abilities at all.
“This doesn’t suit us, the audience won’t be interested in it,” the judges say to bright and extraordinary performers who don’t fit into the format.
Throw the TV out the window or follow my example and put it on a cabinet. Because television cuts thinking down to a rectangular speck, leaving behind its borders a whole unknown world.
Remember - television produces only a rating product that is understandable to the majority, and this is not even always talented. Don’t be guided by what you see from store windows, advertising billboards and glossy covers. This is a product imposed on the crowd by advertising, consumer goods, the brainchild of marketers.
But our task is not to be interesting to the crowd, but to find something that will be interesting to us ourselves! Maybe you can’t beautifully perform Stas Mikhailov’s songs because you were born for brutal styles of music, where vocalists sing growl or scream? This is also in demand! Maybe your paintings are too incomprehensible to your friends, but will find fans among connoisseurs of avant-garde art?
Sometimes talent can be hidden under the most unexpected mask - tear it off.
5. Let your flaws reveal your hidden abilities.
Remember that every character trait has two sides - negative and positive. Attentive, methodical and calm people tend to be slow and boring. To disorder, inconsistency and emotional outbursts - creative personalities. Behind coldness and impartiality hides an analytical mind, and behind an eccentric character lies kindness and the ability to sympathize. Revelers are generous and outgoing, while misers know how to accumulate wealth.
When others point out our shortcomings too often, positive sides fade away, go into the shadows. But if you pay more attention to the good, the bad will immediately fade in front of it. Where is the talent here, you ask? When used correctly, any of our traits can be a talent.
If acquaintances are tired of a friend’s tales and call him idle talk, then it’s time for him to go work on the radio, where they need just such people. Kindness is also a talent for those who work in orphanage or an animal shelter. Are your relatives infuriated by pedantry? And in stores and supermarkets it is encouraged - who else would be so diligent in hanging clothes by color and arranging goods on shelves in orderly rows?
Seek and you will find. There are no people without talent - there are those who were unable to dig it out in a heap of fears, fatigue and disappointments.
***
The use of your abilities can be very diverse. One talent will be yours new profession, another will help in everyday life, thanks to the third you will find new friends, and from the fourth you will simply enjoy it. These are your strengths, what will make your life better, better, deeper and wider.
Don't be afraid or shy, even if some attempts end in failure. Sooner or later you will find yourself. No one knows where exactly. Maybe somewhere you didn't expect to find it. Columbus did not reach India - but is this so bad for Columbus?
