I am good at remembering faces. I also good at remembering their names but sometimes if i see a long time classmate, i cannot say what is his/her name but i do recognize him/her by her face. Well, once i met the person, i do not forget his name and his face. sometimes i do not say or mention his name when i am talking/chatting with him but after leaving him i now remember what is his name.Sounds freak right.

I'm great with remembering faces.I'm terrible when it comes to names.It might have something to do with the fact that I work in retail,so I see a couple of hundered people a day and the turnover rate is high in our company.

It is hard for me to make a connection most of the time. At first, the face is just another face in the crowd. After several weeks of seeing a person on a regular basis, my mind takes to make a connection. Therefore, it's much easier to remember it. I do have trouble for a while. If I only see someone on occasion it is much harder for me to remember them.
