Do you have HSAM?

April 12, 2017 I got interested in this subject from a Tweet. Someone posted a link to a This American Life program called "In Defense of Ignorance". Act 3 of the program was about a person with highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM). There's even a test for it at cramtest.info. I tried to take the test, but my computer wouldn't support Part 4. HSAM isn't the same as eidetic memory. For those who are familiar with the tv series "Big Bang Theory", the character Sheldon Cooper has eidetic memory. He never forgets anything, whereas HSAM is only about personal memories. People with HSAM remember events in their lives as if the events happened yesterday. And they still feel emotions attached to those events. HSAM is a rare syndrome. Do you think you might have it?
Three very different stories of people not admitting the truth.

I am 200% sure that I don't have it as I keep on forgetting things. Bad memory. But I would definately like to check.
