Read the following passage and answer the

questions that follow (Question No. 22 to 25).
Talent is a force not a tool. Talent is neither good
nor bad. Being multi-talented is a very mixed
blessing. For some people, it is a curse. Ability
or performance is the result of complex
interaction between various parts of the mind/
body system. Some parts of the ability are due
to nurture. The most important of these
environmental factors is knowledge in one form
or another. Nature is the basis of talent.
We all know, understand and operate on more
levels than just the conscious. Talents or
Aptitudes are unlearned abilities-gut-level and
non-conscious ways of operating. Some people
call them knacks. Aptitudes have major impact
not just on performance, but on our individual
and unique states of being. They are a big part
of the reason One mans meat is another mans
poison.
Most people know for more than they realise
about knacks and talents. People usually know
if they are mechanical, have a sequence of
direction, pickup language enjoy puzzles or are
good with their hands. Anyone who has
managed or trained people has seen the clear
impact of learned abilities. In any area, some
folks take to it like ducks to water. Once trained
they stay ahead of the crowd. Others sweat to
keep up or fail miserably.
Strong talents do not equal high performance.
Having the right knacks or talents provides a
head start and on-going advantage. They are
not useful without knowledge and motivation.
Aptitudes have to be trained in order to be used
well. Peak performance occurs when one has
the right combination of talents, knowledge,
motivation, opportunity, courage, luck, tools and
X factors.
