It also depends on your personality, and your environment. This study seems to have left out too many variables.
For example, when I showed off my self-taught programming prowess to my drafting teacher in high school, I turned super red and got all embarrassed when he called in another teacher so he could see that I had written a simple prog that would fix something in an application he uses. Also, I taught myself a bit of guitar. I learned how to play Recuerdos de la Alhambra pretty well, and the intro to Yngwie Malmsteen's "Disciples of Hell". I always played them quite well, and my dad wanted my uncle to see. But when I played in front of my uncle I completely screwed up all over the place and I think I made myself look unskilled. However, this study may not really apply to me, because my short-term memory (also known as working memory) sucks. My long-term memory, however, is better than anyone else's that I know of, except my dad's.
