I'm oblivious to the things that most people notice, and I notice the things that most people are oblivious to.

Neither. I don't notice any unusual details, I have have a very good memory for what I do.

I'm the type that notices little details other people tend not to notice. That only really applies in the background though,not with people. For example I'll notice pretty much straight away if something in a room moves

I'm overly observant about the things around me. I'm able to see and hear things that others might miss. I'm able to pick up what people say in conversations as well. This caused a lot of problems between my job placement officer and I around 20 years ago. I guess I must say that I'm a little too aware of the things around me.

Both. I can stop dead on a walk because I spot a lady bug in a holly bush then focus so hard on watching that bug that I don't notice an acquaintance walking towards me until they speak to me.
