@Ghostkaiba297: This again? I'm really scared that I'm begining to sound arrogant here, as I feel like I'm the only one who really watches this show sometimes...

The reason the CMC haven't noticed what their special talents are yet is because they are seven, and it is well documented trope that sometimes the hardest thing to find is something directly in front of you. I feel like I'm the only one who actually watched The Cutie Mark Chonicles (which is a shame, as it is one of the most beautiful episodes in my opinion) but it showed the main six as fillies closer to the CMC's age, and they behaved exactly the same. How could Rarity not know that her special talent was fashion designing even though she's always been praised about it? Why didn't Twilight know her special talent was magic even though she spent every night studying it? Why did it take actually moving away from her home for Applejack to realize that she was exactly where she needed to be the entire time?

Pinkie and Fluttershy are the only ones excused, and even Fluttershy could have had a glimpse of her special talent before she discovered life on the ground/earth level of Equestria (like maybe she looked after a bird one day). If we had been following the main six from when they were just fillies from the begining, then we would have seen several hints towards their cutie marks, and be questioning how in Equestria they have got them yet.
