Abilities is my vote. Sounds less like hubris, though still plenty of it.
Considering that all human beings have the capacity for these skills, I do wish we had a word that didn't sound quite so individualistic.
Something that encompassed the fact that everyone has the capacity for 'psychic powers'.
But thats just me. |

I actually tried to have "Skills" on there as an option, but it wouldn't let me have more than two.

| I voted abilities for pretty much the same reason Alastan said, also every time I hear the word "Powers" for some reason it makes me think of TV shows such as, "Heroes" and/or "Alphas" |

Damn poll function! Skills would definitely have my vote, since thats what they are.

I feel the same way. I don't like comparing myself to superheroes. Life doesn't really work that way. To say we have 'powers' does indeed sound pretentious. |
