O.k. I can imagine the comments that are going to get this thread deleted already but here goes.
Mine is fixing cars. I used to have to fix my car out in the open because of my living situation and I couldn't hide it. Now I can fix it behind the house and nobody can see, 4 cars 4 drivers in my family, one mechanic.
I also sometimes hide the fact that I know how to write grant solicitations. I don't get as much exposure with that.
How about you?
Remembering faces/names and any personal details I learn about a person, or even just overhear on a group run or similar social event. I hide it because in my experience most people do not share this ability and rarely remember me if we've only met once or twice. So for me to say, "Oh hey Bob, good to see you again, how's your son enjoying 3rd grade?" would be awkward. If people don't remember me then I just pretend we're meeting for the first time. It's stupid and somewhat irritating, but I figure what's the point in reminding people that we've met before. It won't change anything and just makes me look like I've been facebook stalking or something when in fact it's just my massive brainpower at work.
Crosswords, facts, etc. Anything that shows raw recall/reasoning ability. People don't like to see that stuff (I think it's the phobia of "the elite"). I regularly don't do as well as I can in games and competitions with family (especially) for that reason. Doesn't really bother me, though, because I don't particularly care to impress people.

I'm completely average at crossword puzzles. I hide that fact because I don't want people to know how unextraordinary I am.
