I have the opposite problem, but it's more to do with me being right brained dominant.

I can recall people's faces but I often can't recall anything about them, or where I met them or what they do. Especially recalling their names - I'm appalling! So embarrassing when I go out and someone comes up to me and says "Hi W****" and I'm looking at them blank.y. I know I know them but I really can't place them.
