Is there a free test online that generally measures your natural talents?
Natural talents like diagnostic and analytical reasoning, idea flow, design/number/associative memory, visual dexterity, etc.
There must be a free test that provides some general feedback? Or if not, do you know of any for a small fee?

Here’s an aptitude test that says it measures your natural skills for various careers. I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for, but it’s a start.
Thanks @hawaii_jake. I went through the whole thing despite the barrage of advertisements which seem to be typical for things like this. It provided a Holland type, interests, and work styles but didn’t get into abilities / natural talents. Hopefully someone else has a suggestion/link for a test that measures these?
The best assessment I’ve ever taken is not free, but it is cheap, considering the information it provides. If you are interested, feel free to send me a PM, and I will provide you with the information.
There are many free online IQ tests among them this one
A proper assessment using multiple techniques would be required to get close to adequately evaluating such a set of characteristics.
Out of curiosity, do you have an idea of your natural abilities and talents?
@wundayatta I think I have some idea but I’m not sure how accurate I am or what I am missing. Taking tests like this in the past has helped me recognize things about myself that should have been obvious but I was not fully aware of. I am on a path to become a scientist and so it is particularly important to me to figure out how strong I am in diagnosis and analysis to solve problems. I think people enjoy doing what they are naturally good at and so if these are not strong points for me, I don’t think I’d enjoy being a scientist.
@prioritymail I don’t know how old you are, but it doesn’t really matter. These are things you can learn at any point in your life.
