They call me Hal! That's not my name. That's not my name.

How good are you at remembering people?


I can remember faces really well but names escape me. Often times I have to ask someone five times in one night before it semi sticks.

I'm excellent at remembering faces and names. Just not connecting the two.

If I meet you socially then I'm usually pretty great. I'm not great with work clients though as I usually see them once and I've seen hundreds, so if I saw one out and about in public I would not recognise 90% of them.

However I think a more pressing issue has presented itself in the thread. Why the smurf have you just tainted EoFF with the god damn Ting Tings?

Man I hate that song.

I'm pretty good at remembering names of people I've met and have a face to go with said name.

I'm terrible at remembering both faces and names. Mostly names. I'll know people for months and not remember their name. It's great.

The inability to remember names is something that's been happening to me over the last year or so. I can remember the first interviewee whose name I couldn't remember. I was a sad.

That song is awesome and you should love it :colbert:

Whenever I got into a new class at high school, college, etc, I would usually end up knowing the names of two people after half a year. I'm terrible with names. Maybe I just don't care who people I don't talk to are named.

As bad as it sounds, when I first meet someone I assume that I will never see them again, so I don't really put in the effort of remembering their name. I remember their face, I do that very well, but names and I are at odds most of the time. If I meet a person a second time, I usually remember their name from then on.

If you have a really strange name though, I will never forget that trout.

I'm bad at remembering names but I'm getting a bit better. Meeting a trout load of new people here though so it's hard.

I am good at remembering faces and names. However, if I meet a girl that I have a crush on, for some reason I have trouble remembering her face in exact detail.

Faces? Awesome! Names? Not so much. There were people on my floor at my uni rez that the whole time I was there I never knew their name but I knew their face. I learned how to avoid people's names very well.

I remember names well if I am interested, romantically or platonic. Heck, I will remember a lot more than their name.

I forgot what I going to post on account of how awful that song is.

I am never posting on topic in your threads again. That song hurts my ears.

I'm great at remembering names if I have a second to process the information. When I was teaching, I always remembered the first names of all 100+ students by the end of the first day, and all of their last names by the end of the week.
