A new famous faces identification test

I even mistook Paul McCartney for Ronald Reagan

Okay. Go to their main page:

and take the Online Cambridge Face Memory Test. I found this one to be essentially impossible. The first part of the test where you get three views of one face and then pick it out of a line-up of three faces was pretty easy. But memorizing 6 faces and then picking one out of the line-up was impossible for me. My guessing netted me a score of 57%. They claim they average is 80%!

1 out of 10. I got Obama right. Thank goodness for mixed race people--they are often unique enough for me to tell the difference!

But yeah, I'm almost certainly moderately faceblind. I can recognize my family and that's about it.

Second test, got 60% correct. Would've liked a breakdown of the different sections--the first was easy, as long as I was able to fix some detail in my mind. but then the details were gone... at which point I pretty much didn't know them from Adam!

I got 4 out of 9

6/11 here. I managed to get David Beckham, George Clooney, Renee Zelweger, Margaret Thatcher, Paul McCartney and Angelina Jolie.

Some of the faces I know I've seen before, but I just couldn't put a name to them.

I mistook Donald Trump for Winston Churchill.

I'm bad with faces that really have no personal impact/influence on me, and I have a tendancy not to recognise faces that are 'out of place', ie, people who usually waer uniforms who are out of uniform, or people that I know from work who happen to be outside of the workplace. That being said, the only two that I recognised in the test are Donald Trump and Paul McCartney.

11 out of 15. Bit lower than usual.
