Your mind has ways of remembering a huge amount of information. It can remember numbers, words, concepts, and even complex visual information. For most people, the ability to recall visuals from their past is far from perfect, but some keep a library of pictures in their minds that they can call up and review to pick out details and enjoy—or suffer—through an experience all over again. Here are thirty tests for your visual memory. For most of them, you'll see a picture that you should then scroll out of sight. Try to recall the picture and answer the question based on what you see in your "mind's eye." In some cases, the question will be about an image you have seen in your daily life in the past, and the picture will just be a reminder of what you should recall. Have fun, relax, and give it a try! The questions will surprise you, so be ready for anything.
Quiz Writer
Let us introduce you to the Listicle Liege, the Article Aficionado, the one and only Nathan. Since creating his first photo collage at the age of five with images clipped from his mom’s Chatelaine magazines (all of them), it’s been nearly impossible to stem this one’s tide of visual learning. Be it the annals of history or the latest celeb gossip, Nathan has probably researched it, likely already has a folder of relevant photos on his desktop, and definitely learned a lot of interesting facts to go with those images. Whereas most well-read adults have bookshelves full of classic literature, Nathan’s stacks are composed of National Geographic and TIME special editions and a curated section of first-grade readers (for inspiration). If you prefer picture books to wordy novels, listicles by Nathan are right up your alley.

IMDB lists 63 movies and TV shows which also feature photographic memory abilities in one of the characters, including Salander from "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," Doogie Howser, "MD" and a variety of police procedural shows. People with somewhat photographic memory may not realize that their abilities exceed those of most people, although full eidetic memory is something close to magic. In "Criminal Minds," the character Spencer Reid not only has an extremely high IQ but reads over 20,000 words per minute from texts in front of him or in his eidetic memory. Some of the series plots revolve around the importance of recalling specific details in texts, at which he excels. This amazing memory sometimes shows up in young children, but usually fades after the age of six as their brains develop further and become more complex and abstract.

Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around. Rather than having to choose the right answer from a list of multiple choice options, in this case, there is no “right answer”! (Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)
So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
