    Are you better at remembering faces or names?

    I want to say I am better at remembering faces. I think I am more of a visual person. I can remember names as long it is long-term memory like from my middle school yearbooks or a family relative like grandpa grandma aunt uncle someone of importance to me.

    Definitely not names, but I"m not that great at faces either.

    I can't remember names to save my life. There are people I've known for years that I could easily pick out of a crowd, but I couldn't tell you their name without a reminder.

    Faces, though it really depends on memorable quirks. I have a few dudes in my social media friends list I can't remember who they are and why I have them there. Their accompanying names haven't helped. Then I have acquaintances I know, but frequently get their names wrong (thankfully not to them themselves, but to mutual acquaintances).
    Now you see it. Now you don't.

    But was where Dalaran?

    Faces, even after years and even if I only see them for a short amount of time.

    Faces. I can remember numbers pretty well, but not names. I sometimes forget the person's name shortly after greeting them for the first time.

    It probably isn't so strange either. Recognizing faces is a pretty important trait to have (from an evolutionary perspective). Names are more abstract.

    Neither. I am terrible with names and faces. I recall instances much more easily, "Oh that was the person we had a meeting with last week."

    I have a partial photographic memory, I remember almost every location I have ever been if I think hard enough and peoples faces and names very easily.

    To the point where I can walk around peoples houses in my minds eye and some other random shit.

    It's gotta be faces, right? I mean, doesn't a name usually require placing a face for it? Not always, but usually.
