Well i have a minor question about photographic memory.
Is photographic memory rare to have? like what are the chances? because i can remember images pretty good if i look at it for a little amount of time,
Yes its fairly rare to have. Photographic memories are extremely rare, and most people with a photographic memory have other mental or physical challenges. Just because you can remember images well does not mean that you have a photographic memory. You may have a good memory, even one that is above average, but not necessarily a photographic memory.
An interesting way to test it is to get a book you've never read and flip/fan through all the pages very quickly and then have someone see if you can repeat all the words on the pages, one with a photographic memory will be able to remember all the words on the pages that they saw.
