Answer 1

It is a sign of a very high IQ.  

Answer 2

It could be a memory problem. Or you could just be forgetful like me.

Answer 3

i have the same thing!!!

It's called short term memory loss. Don't worry, you can get better at it! You'll just need to play games that exercise that part of your memory, like trying to remember phone numbers.

Or it could just be that you have too many things on your mind and you can't concentrate properly. If so, just take a little time to relax each day to relive stress.

But if you do want to see if you have short term memory loss see a GP because sometimes it is a sign of an even greater problem like Dementia or Amnesia. There is quite a good test to take: http://quiz.ivillage.com/health/tests/sh...

I personally got diagnosed when i was 10 by someone from learning support department, so if your still in school then you can always ask them for help.
