[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9461940, member: 19675"] I can do stuff like that. I [I]also[/I] forget the names of most of my friends’ spouses, despite knowing them 10-20 years, gaming in their houses, etc. I recognize certain patterns in my mental retention. I can remember things involving music (including performers’ names), gaming, cooking, locations of objects or businesses, alphanumerical sequences and such with scary accuracy. If I can remember something as/associate it with an [I]image[/I], I’m even more accurate. I routinely mess up names of people I see on a regular basis…but not pets. I can remember plots of TV show episodes, but not necessarily the episode names. This includes reruns of shows (including game shows) I’m not really watching, but just in the room when it aired. I’m historically terrible at remembering scientific/mathematical formulas, and often misapplied the ones I DID remember. I’m not usually making conscious efforts to remember such trivia or not trying to recall things that matter. It’s like my mind is run by freaking magpies. [/QUOTE]
