Impressiveness is subjective for all but the most outlandish feats, namely:

- Buying and selling a company at the age of 16

- Replicating a Rembrandt blind-folded OR having your original painting sold at an art auction for value in excess of 6 figures

- Performing Mozart's Fifth Symphony one-handed at the age of 6

- Writing 10000 kanji on a grain of rice

In short, you are looking at this the right way. The application is looking for your most outlandish feat.

Edit: Bulletized list.

In Denmark, I met an 11 year old girl who fluently spoke six languages. I was impressed but am unsure whether to classify her language skills as academic or outlandish.
