Speaking in tongues is the least among the spiritual gifts (1 Cor. 12:28).
Wisdom. Wisdom is considered the first and the greatest of the gifts. It acts upon both the intellect and the will. According to St. Bernard, it both illumines the mind and instills an attraction to the divine.
1 Corinthians 12:27-30
And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues.
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. While some Christans accept these as a definitive list of specific attributes, others understand them merely as examples of the Holy Spirit's work through the faithful.
The Catholic Church follows the Latin Vulgate version of Galatians in recognizing twelve attributes of the Fruit: charity (caritas), joy (gaudium), peace (pax), patience (patientia), benignity (benignitas), goodness (bonitas), longanimity (longanimitas), mildness (mansuetudo), faith (fides), modesty (modestia), ...
Speaking in tongues is the least among the spiritual gifts (1 Cor. 12:28). God gave spiritual gifts so that church members can build each other up (1 Cor. 12:7).
These abilities, often termed "charismatic gifts", are the word of knowledge, increased faith, the gifts of healing, the gift of miracles, prophecy, the discernment of spirits, kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues.
But there is nothing in Scripture that explicitly says how many gifts a person may receive. Paul himself clearly had the gifts of apostleship, prophecy, teaching, healing, word of knowledge, speaking in tongues, working of miracles, evangelism, and exhortation.
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are, according to Catholic Tradition, wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of God.
One of the spiritual gifts God gives the Church is discernment (1 Corinthians 12:10). The Church needs people who are able to discern error since we're called upon to “test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).
Summary. In both 1 Corinthians 12:28 and Romans 12:8, leadership is one of several gifts that the Spirit may grant to a Christian. Given the nature of this gift, it is certainly required of elders. Elders should maintain a Word-centered unity in the church and do so with zeal.
(To put it another way: Natural gifts are ours by physical birth, while spiritual gifts come by spiritual birth.) Can God use natural gifts as spiritual gifts? Yes! But we shouldn't assume this will always happen.
The world's largest gift was the Statue of Liberty.
The people of France gave it to the US in 1886. It's 151 feet, 1 inch high and weighs 225 tonnes.
To answer your question: Unbelievers and believers alike have talents, but the Holy Spirit only energizes the talents of believers for his purposes. Ephesians 4:8 implies that he may even add new abilities as he deems necessary to extend and edify God's work today.
The Lord has said: “For all have not every gift given unto them; for there are many gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God.

The first half of Romans 12:6 (NLT) tells us that God gives each of us a special talent. “In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.” The second half of Romans 12:6 (NKJV) gives us an important commandment related to those talents: Use them!
According to the Scriptures, these gifts include such ministries as faith, healing, prophecy, proclamation, teaching, administration, reconciliation, compassion, and self-sacrificing service and charity for the help and encouragement of people.
The gift of prayer is perhaps the most important and necessary spiritual practice that promotes growth as a disciple of Jesus. As we read throughout the Bible we run into people — common, ordinary people — who pray. These people talk to God in response to him speaking to them or because of some need.
Quite a few other manifestations in the life of a believer are far more convincing evidences of the presence of God's Spirit than tongues. One of the greatest would be humility. The Bible specifically teaches that not everyone is given the gift of tongues (I Corinthians 12:29-30).
He also encouraged them to speaking tongues in their individual prayer life as a means of spiritual edification or building up. The Bible says, “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself” — I Corinthians 14:14.
