Reading eyes

Post Reply New Topic

I got this link from a post in the general autism section. I showed my son the eyes and he was able to correctly identify the emotion of the person by seeing the eyes only. However, he does have high functioning autism.

Congrats. That is pretty good.

I am NT (well I do have ADD). I took some similar test with a lot more questions on this site and ended up scoring lower than half of people who took it on who are on the spectrum. My score was probably one of the lowest and I am a counselor and psych LOL. I feel I am good at reading people - perhaps I am wrong and disillusioned. Some of those questions (pictures) were just plain creepy.

oh my goodness. I clicked on the site and had to close the tab it was in I was going to take the test but the people on the page it linked me to were staring at me. haha, how sad is that.

Congrats on the good score. I might do okay if i could look at them long enough :S.

il tak he quiz later

I'm NT and I missed most of them. I think I need the whole face to see emotions.

I have read somewhere that children with classic autism are often more socially adept than the children with Asperger's, so your finding doesn't surprise me. I score on the border in the eye-recognition, but I noticed when I was being tested with pictures of people with no expression (I think they were testing face blindness) that I was incredibly creeped out by looking at so many faces. I felt like most of them looked angry too. I scored well on remembering the faces, but I guarantee you I'd only recognize two or three of the more notable ones now. I think I have delayed face blindness...

Interesting stuff. I wonder if most NT's would score lower because we need the whole face. Now that would be an interesting study!!

I consider myself NT and I had a horrible time with that test. I'm used to looking at the whole face.
