.., I suck at recalling facts and experiences
About Memory
Psychologically, We can't remember something when we actually forget. When we forget something, we just can't remember it. When remembering something, that memory comes back without any on purpose/intentional instructions from the person. The person himself/herself may even be unwilling to remember it anymore.
In IT, I remember an instructions called "query". It used for recalling data stored in machine by some kind of "Command". Psychological Memory can't be treated the same as machine.
Because of that, it is advisable to write a Memoir. When the memory comes back, just write it down, since we don't know when, where, the memory eventually comes back.
You may find the memory written useful in the future.
One of my intj friends sees me as esfj or esfp another close intj friend doesn't see me as an infp
My comment is You should inquire how they come up with that. You should check whether they sufficiently knowledgeable about the MBTI and further the cognitive functions. They may know you, but they may also not be sufficiently knowledgeable about the MBTI and cognitive functions. Because of this, they still, may falsely identify you as another type.
