I have read somewhere that ISTJs are very keen on details but I never thought this would apply in clearly remembering chunks of information and knowledge even from years ago.

Lately, my friends have been commenting on how I can vividly recall knowledge from years back like college philosophy terminologies and definitions and sometimes, scientists' full names.

But it has also put me into a disadvantage because there was time that when my coworkers asked if someone knew the name of a certain person from a different office. I met that person once and remembered his full name. So when they asked, of course, I answered it. But they took it the wrong way and are now teasing me that I am interested in him, which is definitely not true. I just remembered it, that's all.

So now I shut up when these kinds of questions on people and events pop up, unless necessary circumstances arise.

I don't have photographic memory because I met people who possess this quality and their experience is another level of different.

Is it only me who experience this kind of thing? :(
