[poll] faces, finding people in a crowd

Wanted to do a poll about visualizing people's faces, as well as relating to the fact that I have a hell of a time finding people in a crowd. Exhausted, but wanted to do this before I forgot. :)

[Poll #341839]

Also, Have you heard of dysnomia (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dysnomia) already? That's the name problem you mention.

Yeah. I've always linked it more with the ADD, though, and the whole thing where it's hard to remember immediate things if I can't read them. (But hey, it has a name!)

(So if I get introduced to someone, then I can't remember their name off the top of my head, 15 mins later. That doesn't explain the people who have been vague acquaintances for years and who I suddenly blank on, but anyway.)

*chuckle* No, it doesn't. And I do that, sometimes. :)

I had heard of dysnomia, but had forgotten what it was called.


(grin) (But true!)
