My girlfriend recently took a couple photographic memory tests and scored off the charts on them.
She took 8 of them on this site. http://38i.biz/pm/ You are scored by the number of guesses compared to the number you place correctly. Her worst score was 23 guesses and 20 correct and her best score was 20 guesses and 20 correct. My best was 23/20 and my worst was 15/2 before the program stopped me.
Then she took this one and scored 90%. I scored 20%. http://www.open2.net/bang/photographic_memory_launcher.html
Her ability to remember things like phone numbers, detailed conversations, past events (really sucks for me when we argue because she remembers the event so clearly compared to me IF I remember it at all), and other information that she is given is remarkable. I have never interacted with anyone who can do that before. You can show her a credit card for a second or two and she has all 16 numbers memorized already. I can't do that.
Yet she swears to me that she doesn't have a photographic memory. She just thinks she has a really fast deductive reasoning-type memory. She explained to me that in the 2nd test I listed, she simply looked at the patterns of white squares compared to black squares from one image to the other by shape such as a "T" or an upside-down triangle and found the lone white square that remains between the two images that way. I don't buy it and I think she is just ashamed of her near-photographic memory.
Take them and let me know what you think.
