Do people usually remember the current date? I can almost never tell it and it was like this since forever.

Me neither, probably because it's rarely useful to me in day to day life.

These test aren't really about just getting the answer right or wrong, but also about how you react when you can't remember the answer. There's a big difference between going "oh I can never remember that", "...wait...I used to know that" and confidently getting the answer wrong.

I don't, unless I'm working for someone else. I was in Macy's once, and this angry salesperson was having a bad day, and I just wanted to avoid the dude. Moved to another counter. Well, Mr. Happy came over to ring me up. I started to write my check and couldn't remember what date, and even what year, we were in. Actually, why rushed, or don't like a person I interacting with; my memory fails me, or I say things I don't mean. This one car hussler was trying to buy my car, and doing the "dance"--it's just worth this much to me--dance, and I'll half your advertised price. Well he took me by suprised, with the hard bargaining/bad manners in my garage. I just wanted the guy to go. When he walked out he noticed a '68 Karman Ghia(no rust-complete--good orig. condition). He asked how much. I told me $200.00 I told him I mistook his question later, but to this day I wonder why I said 200.00. I sometimes wonder if I'm that guy who that's not too savy, and gave always to much over the years? I remember giving away my inheritance, and look back and regret it. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but I have a feeling this particular family member manipulated me when I wasen't felling well psychologically? Anyway, I think stress can play with judgement, and memory. To those that prey on weak individuals, or capitalize on someone's misery; you're not a good person--no amount of denial will take the truth away?
