So that's better than if I had guessed for the entire test. But sometimes I really could not tell and just picked one.


Me too. Also, sometimes I got stuck pressing one button because my brain was too busy figuring out the faces to be able to deal with the buttons.

Hmmm, I got 93.3333% correct on the second test -- where I compared two faces to a target face. Anyone else get this score or higher?

Interestingly, I got a very negative result from the first test. I guess this means I recognize face parts better than whole faces. Maybe true.

I thought I would have scored lower. I had to guess allot.

For the test comparing face parts or whole faces, you had a score of 62.5% correct on this test. Based on the results we have so far, the average person who takes this test scores 73% correct.

You had a whole advantage (whole accuracy minus part accuracy) of 2.8%. If this number is greater than zero, that means you found it easier to recognize whole faces than parts. Based on the results we have so far, the average person who takes this test has a whole advantage of 8%.

For the test where you compared two faces to a target face, you had a score of 60% correct. Based on the results we have so far, the average person who takes this test scores 85% correct.

I got 58.3%, so I guess I did poorly too. There were only two options, so I guess I was basically at chance. I did not enjoy that test- it seemed endless, and a lot of the time the two face options looked identical.

I don't think I am actually "face blind" (although I am *definitely* "place blind"), but it does take me a LONG time to learn faces and attach names to them.
