The video discusses various unique physical skills and abilities that a small percentage of people possess. These include:
- Being ambidextrous, which is the ability to use both hands equally well for tasks like writing, drawing, or any other task. Only about 1% of the world's population is ambidextrous.
- Raising one eyebrow independently of the other, a skill that only about a third of people can do. This is useful for sending playful signals when telling a joke.
- Being able to lick the inside of your nose from the inside of your mouth, a skill that only about 10% of humans can do.
- Being able to stand up from a sitting position without using your hands on your knees, a test called the sit-stand test.
- Having the palm of your hand drop when pointed straight upwards, a rare skill that scientists are still studying.
- Having hypermobility, the ability to put your body in strange positions due to excessive flexibility. This increases sensitivity as individuals with this trait have a larger medulla, the region of the brain responsible for processing emotions.
- Being able to write the same sentence with both hands without any difference. This exercise is good for balancing the hemispheres of the brain.
- Being able to touch the tip of your tongue to the tip of your nose, a skill that only about 10% of humans can do.
- Being able to stand on one leg and close your eyes without losing balance. This exercise is good for testing the vestibular system, which maintains balance in different positions.
- Being able to draw the number 6 on a piece of paper or in the air while turning your foot clockwise. This test is for the brain's ability to support two opposing movements at the same time.
- Being able to feel ticklish as a result of your own contact, a rare ability. This exercise is good for exercising the nerves and bringing relaxation.
- Being able to move both ears at the same time, a skill that scientists believe our distant ancestors had.
