Facial recognition.

on the Cambridge Test.
Your accuracy in the experiment was: 79%

I think the only reason this is, is because I'm currently learning portraiture (oil paintings). So I recognized the eyes and the eyebrows.

I've got a book at home hear called Understanding Emotions. I read the book cover to cover and did the 25 questions at the end. I got 20% correct, less than random chance. So I'm definitely face blind.

I have a horrible time recognizing people and remembering names, most of the time.

Coaching baseball this year I was surprised at just how well I managed to remember the kids. Coaching hockey last season it was horrible, and I still didn't manage to put a face to a name by the end of the season. I'm the quiet assistant when coaching, so I can get away with it.

My kid isn't playing hockey this year, so I won't be coaching. While I enjoy being able to help, it has always been a challenge to my anxiety, so I'm looking forward to some time off.

Anyway, back to the point. I do have a lot of trouble with recognizing people and it's embarrassing sometimes.
