    Depends on the term. I can remember events as far back as when I was three but I'm very forgetful when it comes to getting things done or grabbing something before leaving the house.

    All over the place. I can forget something I just heard/read, but quote almost word for word some comedy shows I saw years ago.

    I can remember almost anything I read but if you ask me to remember things I witness, that's a different story.

    Horrible I can not remember what I was told within the last 20 minutes. My memory did not use to be this bad but I guess it getting worse. I lost knowledge of school and most of the people I knew at that point. I think my mind deletes most of it in a panic. Since I always believe people are laughing when I mess something up. Yet miraculously can remember every single password I have ever made.

    Its patchy. Sometimes, rarely so, my memory is good. Most of the time it is alarmingly bad.

    Pretty bad. Had multiple concussions and from then on my memory has been much worse :/

    I don't know why, but I have this weird problem with remembering vacations. For example, this one time coming into 9th grade after Summer break, we were asked to stand in line in order of how far we went on vacation and I literally thought that I went nowhere (when it turned out I probably went the farthest in my class).

    Anyways, I don't think this question is quantifiable.

    I can remember facts, quotes, statistics, etc. for long periods of time with no issue, but events and people I forget within weeks with nearly no exceptions.

    Pretty good. I've been in fun short-term memory competitions in various classes at school before, and I've always won. I'm not sure those were very representative though, because I took them more seriously than most people and short-term memory is incredibly easy to hack (Google "memory chunking").

    I'm not so sure about long-term memory. I remember quite a lot like anyone else, and I forget things like anyone else.
