To an extent...... but more so, self-discipline.. I also taught myself to play piano and flute... I also play clarinet... I guess it depends on the individual

Perhaps slight talent, but in order to really develop it into something, you need to learn to read bass clef (I know what a pain that is) and I would really question how well you can play french horn and guitar before I say you have talent. Also, beat is not that hard to pick up, especially "after a while"...I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but most songs you would hear today are in either 4 or 2, and most of the time it could go either way. If you can show me 12/8 after a little bit, then we can talk talent.

No, I wouldn't. But talent is hard to define. I define it as having the patience and persistence to do what it takes to accomplish a significant musical goal. What makes one person talented and another not so much is most often that the former just didn't give up as soon on practicing.
It sounds like you may have a knack for picking things up musically, but whether or not you're talented is difficult to say. And the best person to ask might just be yourself.

Well piano is actually probably the easiest instrumnet to learn how to play by yourself. I taught my self. However, to really know how to play the piano you have to play both top and bottom parts. Beats aren't really hard to find. You do have musical talent though because you can play other instruments.

Yeah I would. Unless you only taught yourself how to play Mary had a little lamb. Which I highly doubt.

30% talent, 70% determination. but determination is also a form of talent, I guess.

piano and guitar is a no brainer. all you do is figure out some chords.

If everything you claim is correct, you must have some talent.
