All types can remember information. It just depends on the information they tend to remember.
I suspect with INxJs, their supposed memory for details that Usehername, myself, and others have described could be due to our inferior Se that works at a more focused, internal level. I imagine this is the source of how INxJs can also have acute attention to detail, particularly details with meaning or of subjective interest.
EDIT: I think a good memory for anything comes from introverted perception (Si or Ni). After all, Ni probably needs to have a good memory in order to distort the collected facts in creative endeavors and so forth. Ni often uses memories of facts and events to predict what will happen next. This is pretty much how the Israeli prophets (who Jung claimed were Ni types) worked in reality. (They were not magical seers.)
