Of course, that wasn't about the tumor back then, but it fits, don't you think?Dharma Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01101519733760986609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733404.post-21488260671965140472010-03-26T00:38:10.933-05:002010-03-26T00:38:10.933-05:00Amen, Deandra!

I'm probably at least as bad as Alison at remembering details, but I had put it down (once I had learned about the possibility, that is) to being an INFP in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (or whatever that's called!), and had excused myself. Of course, I don't have a PhD, so the expectations of others toward me are perhaps a bit different than for you, Alison and Eliza.The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07082511484398695392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733404.post-53837738638395893372010-03-25T18:51:07.785-05:002010-03-25T18:51:07.785-05:00Reading this post, I had an instant flashback to t...Reading this post, I had an instant flashback to the time when you, Eliza I were talking about Shakespeare (during RAD training), and I could not for the life of me remember a single detail from the play even though I had read it as an undergrad. Even now, at several years remove, I vividly remember feeling like such an idiot because I couldn't remember something that I had read in a class that I did well in. <br /><br />All this to say...I don't think this kind of misremembering is pathological or a sign of reduced intelligence. (at least I hope not) I think it has more to do with personality types, with a different kind of remembering, a different kind of storing away and recalling information. I could be totally wrong here. And, I recognize that the fact that I share this characteristic doesn't make my thoughts conclusive in any way. But I want to go on record here in saying that I think this is just part of being who you are then and now. In a good way. <br />-DeandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
