well, different people have different abilities. so if you go and count them then you will get thousands of those.but now i am really confused......... like while i was filling one of my forms for admission into a B-school there was a question like what unique experiences, perspectives and personal qualities will you bring to the college that will contribute to the intellectual and extracurricular activities of your classmates? i wil be really grateful if you guys just help me in answering this question.

OMG this is so tough and I understand how inadequate and unintelligent I am. I am sorry but I am not adding anything here, just wanted to see what are the different responses here…might learn a thing or two from them. I must say that I like both the responses before mine…they are so simple yet so true and profound.

Yourwriting skills would allow you to write for the school paper or help the staff there. If you have had any type of schooling that would help in different areas or volunteer anywhere that your duties would give you insight on a particular activity at school tell them.
Another thing list the programs you are familiar with. This may be able to get you into the front office or elsewhere helping out and maybe getting paid for your work.
Let them know your hobbies as this sometimes let them know some of the things you are capable of.
Intellectually, if you have done anything, or any of your schooling let them know this.
I hope I have been of a little help in this area.

You are unique; all of us are. You may write there the instances that made you a better person now. You may answer the experiences that shape as you as a person now or the experiences where you win and lost. Above all, focus on the positive side of things. Explore more on your talents and skills. I'm pretty sure you have a lot to offer.

I also love photography and am learning how to set up a photo. I do not know how to manipulate the light yet, one of these days I hope to take a photography class.

I, myself can not even answer questions like that. What do they really expect for an answer? No one can bring anything special to a school, but themselves. If they don't think you are special enough with your willingness to learn are they worth having you in the first place? Tell them you will bring an extra body into the school, which in turn gives them more money 
Just kidding, but it would be funny to see their faces if anyone every put that on the forms!
