I came to the conclusion that I compress my experiences and rather than "reading them". I process them to subconsciously extract relevant patterns. If I need to remember what I ate on a certain date, I struggle and basically have to unpack the whole shebang.

There is a whole set of behavioural patterns I exhibit that all seem to tie into this. For example I have no sense for time on the scale of weeks or longer.

On the other hand I seem to remember "narrative background" well. E.g. What someone likes or doesn't like, where they're from etc. I also seem much better than others in remembering whether a topic already came up or not.

In terms of MBTI/Jungian Functions: I seem very much lead Ni.
