I have a theory that sharper and deeper memory is one of the cornerstones of my intellectual abilities. You remember more of what you read, more of what was discussed, more of what you've experienced, you recall things better, easier, and with greater clarity. It's a synergistic effect because it improves your brain's processing of tasks and ideas at so many levels. I half wonder if the bulk of my intellectual advantages might be due to this synergistic effect alone. I'm not skilled at social relationships, but you seem a master of them. I suspect both your memory and social skills are signs of quite high intelligence.
