Remembering names is not your strong suit. The second someone is introduced to you, their name immediately leaves your mind. But that's only because you have so much more important stuff to think about. Who has time to remember a few pesky names?

You've got an okay memory; you remember the important names, but others just escape you. But you don't have a problem just asking them to repeat themselves, and people are usually pretty understanding that you have other things on your mind. After all, remembering names is hard!

You've got a great memory for names! Whether you use a mnemonic device or if your brain just has a knack for names and faces, you make people feel really good by remembering who they are, even if you've only met briefly.
