If you’re lucky enough to have a photographic memory you probably know it by now, but in case you’ve somehow failed to recognise your innate ability then here’s the test that should make it pretty clear.

Succeed and you’ll be joining the ranks of Leonardo da Vinci and the former American president Theodore Roosevelt. Fail and sorry, you’re just like the rest of us.

Right, your time to shine starts now. Memorise this image:

And then the one below:

Now look away and come up with that letter that the red dots create…

Here’s the Daily Mail with how it all works:

To take the test, you have to look at at a seemingly random pattern of red and blue dots and try to memorise the picture. You then do the same with a second combination of blue and red dots.

Once you feel as if you have successfully memorised the second image, you have to combine the two in your mind’s eye to see if you can form a letter from the red dots.

If you’ve managed to remember them correctly, you should come up with the letter G’.

So if you didn’t cheat and nailed that above congrats, you’re in the one percent. Although, and I don’t want to sound harsh, if it’s taken you this long to recognise your ability then maybe you’re not reaching your full potential.
