I don't have a good memory. Both my short term memory and long term memory leave a lot to be desired. The only thing I have a good memory for is the content of old comic books from when I was a kid - so basically, I can retain completely useless information about men in tights beating each other up. Awesome!
How about you? How's your memory? If you're not sure - put your short term memory to the test here. You'll be shown 15 words over 15 seconds. Once you've seen all the words you'll be asked to write down as many as you remember. The first time I did it, I only got 4. The second time I got 6 and the third time I got 9.
Give it a try and let us know how you did.

With the baby screaming and pulling on my arm, I remembered 7. I say that's decent.
I'm stuck on 5.
Patrick, I also am an old comic book fan (probably older than yours). All my knowledge of Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology came from comics. Astronomy, chemistry, and biology also got a boost as various 'scientific explanations' for different super-powers were explored.
So don't sell your comic-book education too short.
I only did it once, and scored a 10. I think it's interesting that the results listed were results for the test given orally. There is a big difference in verbal/visual memory based on your particular learning style.
Keith, everything I know I learned from Jack Kirby.
I took it three times and scored 10, 11, 10.
