It is interesting to see how every individual in this world is a unique self and a one-of-a-kind being. Just as no two people think or act the same way, no two bodies have the same abilities. Nature has created and bestowed each and every “body” with a distinct set of characteristics.
Case in point: Priya Prakash Varrier’s viral wink. The video that created a global sensation also caused many people to suddenly discover their ability or inability to raise both their eyebrows!
The fact of the matter is, each one of us is special. We we just need to be more mindful and aware of our uniqueness. Hence, we bring you 10+ tests to check out the special abilities that you have while others don’t. Have fun!

1. Can You Sneeze With Open Eyes?
Most of us blink our eyes when we sneeze. It’s a reflex that prevents germs from going into our eyes. Our facial nerves are linked in such a way that a sneeze sends one stimulus to the brain and another to eyelids. But if you sneeze with your eyes open, you are the uncommon one!
2. Let’s See If You Can Touch Your Nose With Your Tongue
The ability to touch one’s nose with one’s own tongue is called the “Gorlin sign.” Experts say that only 10% of the population can do this (1). Are you one of them? Well, those of you who cannot do so don’t have to feel underprivileged. You can always train yourself into doing so.
3. Do You have Heterochromia?
Heterochromia is nothing but a difference in coloration, and it’s usually of the iris. (It could also refer to hair or skin.) There are three kinds of heterochromia: Complete, sectoral and central. Complete heterochromia is a condition when one iris has a different color from the other. Sectoral or “segmental” is when part of one iris is a different color from the remaining iris. In central heterochromia, different hues exude from the pupil. This condition could be owing to genetics, injury or even disease. If you have any of these three conditions, you are among the one percent population of this world.
4. Can You Wiggle Your Ears À La Mr. Bean?
We bet you have tried this as part of fun games and “truth or dare” when you stay back at your friend’s place for a chillax weekend. Indeed, some humans and animals such as cats and doggies can wiggle their ears to the amazement of the rest of us. This is possible because of the auricularis muscles above and behind our ears.
5. Check Out For Simian On Your Hand
According to palmistry, when the heart line and head line overlap, the resulting major line is called the “simian line.” People with simian lines are considered to be special because they make significant contributions to the world through their vision and deeds. Do you have one? Well, then you are a lucky one!
6. Fist In The Mouth? Try If You Can!
Did you know if you can put your fist into your mouth, you belong to the two percent of the population in the world who can do the same? Only those who have both a large mouth and a small fist can do this.
7. Getting Goosebumps?
What happens when you listen to your favorite song that makes you happy? Or when you watch a certain scene in a film that makes you emotional? The feeling of excitement manifests into goosebumps on the skin! Experts say this phenomenon is referred to as “frisson” and only two-thirds of the population actually experience this (2).
8. Charming Dimples
From Jennifer Garner and Beyonce to SRK and Deepika Padukone, dimples have been their distinct identity, which earned them millions of admirers. In fact, to achieve this desirable “flaw,” many people have even taken to cosmetic surgery. Are you someone who is naturally gifted with dimples? If so, you are blessed!
9. Tendon In The Fingers
The middle finger’s tendons depend on one’s ring finger. When you face your palm down on the table and fold your middle finger, you cannot raise your ring finger. Well, try it out. If you can do so, you are different.
10. Larger Jawline To Accommodate A Wisdom Tooth
Most of us have gone through the pain of a wisdom tooth that is struggling to grow. But you may have a lucky friend who wonders what you are talking about. That’s because she has a larger jawline, which can accommodate the wisdom tooth!
11. Ticklish Self
It’s nothing new when you laugh hysterically on being tickled by others. But what if you get tickled by yourself? No effect. However, according to some studies, there are people who actually tickle themselves! And they could possibly have higher chances of suffering from schizophrenia (3).
Different bodies have different sets of abilities and disabilities. That’s what makes each one of us unique. The tests given above go on to prove that each of us is truly special!
