If you're forgetful at the office or in the classroom, it can cause a lot of embarrassment. So, is it possible to improve your memory? If you want to improve your memory or just get to know yourself a little better, try to discover your "memory type."

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Do you remember best by reading a list or looking at something? Good at remembering faces? You're a "looker" memory type. Try to visualize what you want to remember.

  2. Step 2

    Prefer hearing instructions as opposed to reading? Better at remembering names than faces? You're a listener. Try saying things softly to yourself out loud in order to remember them.

  3. Step 3

    Recall things based on your mood at the time? Your memory changes with your emotional state? You're a feeler. You're most receptive to self-suggestion, so remind yourself to remember things. Also, try ghostwriting in the air what you want to remember, since feeling the movement will help you.

Tips & Warnings
  • Try and do memory exercises for a few minutes every day to improve your memory.
