EQ?

Hi Guys,
I just joined and I m not sure if this would be the right place to post this but I did anyways.
I had been told that I have a strong EQ by people and I even been in work meeting where I
ve noticed the attorneys of the opposing party fixating their chairs to concentrate on my moves and all.
I normally pick up all kinds of signals and signs from the smallest move someone does when talking to me or expressions they make. And I can at least tell some abnormalities in their behaviors by the facial or eye contacts as well.
I also have a fairly good memory with which I can remember almost all special moments to a point where people get amazed with how far back it goes.
And this goes with phone numbers which the ones that I am willing to remember have stayed in my memory forever. some from 40 years ago. family and friends home numbers that even they themselves don t recall.
I can memorize phone numbers mainly right as I m told without writing them down and those that I don't wish to remember can get avoided right there and then.
I didn t think it was a big deal but recently somehow I hear a lot of people mentioning that this a photographic memory that I have. Cause I do picture the numbers as I m told in my head and that s where they stay right there and then.
Same thing goes with car plates and colors and even body damages and small things on cars.
Can anyone tell me if what people tell me is true or is this just the same with everyone?
I appreciate your tips and comments.
Many Thanks
PS
I seem not to miss anything going on around me to the point that people even tell me that and that I should have become a detective and I get named Barretta Bob or Rainman for remembering numbers and all which I find it all pretty amusing!
