Micro-Expressions Test

Post Reply New Topic

I got 8%, one I just guessed on. They are trying to sell training though.

20%, few on the first guess though

I got 12% and am NT. Some possible explanations:

1)I'm not as good at reading micro expressions as I think I am

2)the test deliberately downgrades scores in order to sell its' training videos

3)the test makes no attempt to downgrade scores but the actors are not accurately portraying the expressions because they are not actually trained actors (or sociopaths) and so aren't expert at conveying microexpressions for feelings they are not having.

Any one of those 3 is possible. I'd be most likely to accept that I am not good at reading micro expressions if I see other NTs get a far better score (such as your suggested 30-50%). If other NTs get scores as low or nearly as low as mine, the it would be either that the downgrading is intentional or the actors can't quite convey the micro expressions without truly feeling the feelings because they aren't trained actors. I think this is likely since as every poker player knows, micro expressions are hard to fake. Poker players are the other group that self-trains in faking them and even then I'm told it takes years. I sure can't fake them. I took an acting class and was appalled when I saw the test videos of myself (and the other class members) at how terribly I and they did at faking micro expressions. Mot class members got the macro expressions right but the micro expressions were much harder.

dang! That's good. Maybe I really am far worse at reading micro expressions than I thought.

My 12 % looks worse and worse. I guess I am more heavily BAP than NT.

I got 0%. I thought I'd be a bit better than that. I did get some correct after a few tries.

I got 0% yet I did et some right after I gave up and started clicking at random. How do I get 0% when I got one of them right on the first click?

I got 24% but there was the same clip three times, and that was the only one I knew right from the get-go.

I got 14%

My friend got 30%

I got 24% on this.

I'm not sure about it though. There was one which was apparently 'sadness' but I would have considered it neutral. Certainly not sad.

Second time I got 0% even though I did get some right.

And one of the questions, the guy was apparently showing disgust when he was looking at cards. Why would you be disgusted looking at cards?

Your score: 12%

32%. My biggest difficulty was spotting the expression when it happened. If I spotted the expression I tried it out myself to work out what it meant.

I got 4%, but I have no clue how it got that - I saw one clip 3 times, and another one 2 times.. I can remember what you told me what it said was the proper answer after it told me what was right. I also got one other one right on my second or third guess that wasn't a repeat.

Took it again, 34%
