Ann Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Are you better at remembering names or faces? Do you have any tricks that help you remember names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Faces for sure. I am a teacher, and have hundreds of faces...tough to remember names. I used to make it a goal to know all the names by the end of the first week. I always asked them something unique about themselves so I could have that as a memory too.

myrnalu Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 faces Hate when someone says Hi Marie and I know the face but cant remember from where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shineladysue Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Faces for sure, Ann. I've actually been in the grocery store or out somewhere, see someone whom I know I should know their name as well as my own and hide because I'm embarassed to have forgotten.

lindseysmom Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Faces for sure. It drives me crazy when I can not remember someones name. Best Wishes, Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I remember both names and faces.......unfortunately they don't always go together! Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Another for the faces. I try to remember to repeat the person's name when I meet them ("Hi, Nancy, it's nice to meet you.") while looking at their face. If I don't, I am just TERRIBLE at names!

Welthy Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Faces -- even if I've never met them before. (People always look "familiar" to me!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Faces, but dimly (LOL)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Having an almost photographic memory (trust me this drives Alan crazy ) and also being in the mortgage industry, I am much better at remembering names. Alan is much better at remembering faces, so together we make a good combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaffie Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Faces, I'm horrible with names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Faces. I recognize people I met years ago but cannot remember names well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadstimeon Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Definitely faces, I forget someone's name 30 seconds after they tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda661 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Faces here too. I'm another one that tends to forget a name 30 seconds after I'm introduced -- if I can catch it in time, I try to associate the person's name to something so I can remember it better.

luvmydog2 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I would say it is 50/50 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
