You are in the 1%
Wow! You have a photographic memory, which is extremely rare, especially amongst adults. You have the ability to look at a picture and memorize every single detail of it. Then, you can retrieve this image from your memory at will and examine it thoroughly. It is a truly phenomenal gift you possess.
Congrats! You have an above average photographic memory. You can't totally memorize every image you see, but if you focus hard enough, you probably could. Try this test again but make sure you are doing with no distractions. Then see if you score in the top 1%!
On the basis of this test, it looks like you might not have a photographic memory. However, you did score higher than most people.! This means that you have great intuition, good focus, and strong memory skills.
Well, looks like you're just like the rest of us! You do not have a photographic memory. It doesn't mean you have bad memory, you just don't have an exceptional one. But doing memory exercises can sure make it better. If you want to improve it, do more tasks and quizzes like this one.
