Facial Expressions Test

I HATE those tests. If it were any longer I would have quit. I don't know why, but by about half way through them, I just start getting really PISSED.

I think most of those expressions are just made up to make us look stupid. Who else ever takes those tests anyway?

46%. That woman with the glasses was a LOT harder to read than any of the others, and her photo was blurry.

Interestingly with fear, I didn't identify it as such, but as what I personally think are its two component emotions: surprise or sadness.

Joy and sadness were the two easiest for me to distinguish.

In reality I find people easier to read, with many cues at my disposal. But I'm not surprised I would have problems with something face-related, as I am borderline on the prosopgnosia (sp?) scale.

I also got 50%....most people just look angry to me unless they are smiling or crying, not only in these pics but in everyday life. I did get most of the "surprised" ones though, on the test. It was kind of easy with their eyes all bugged out !

46%, which is better than chance, but if truth be told, I wouldn't have gotten that high a score if the question weren't multiple choice. For quite a lot, I would've answered "emotionless" if that had been a choice. Some looked like amusement. At least one looked either constipated or puzzled.

Interesting - I've never seen 'contempt' defined as an emotion. I would think it's more a learnt attitude. I'm normally okay at such test - I read books on drawing cartoons as a kid, and they showed which direction the eyes, mouth and eyebrows go for various expressions - but the contempt one totally confused me! And some of them just looked bored - or constipated!

I got 64%. I generally got joy, sadness and surprise right - they have very distinct face shapes. I misinterpreted anger a lot - I do that in real life too. Never realise when people are angry with me! Actually, gosh, I didn't get any of the 'anger' ones. I seem to be unable to recognise it at all. Real anger never looks like the cartoon depiction, with the eyebrows at a certain angle! I misinterpreted fear a lot too. Fear and surprise often look quite similar to me.

I'm curious to know which ones other people tend to get right and which ones you get wrong.

I got 54% I got the impressinion than I kept seeing the same images time over. I thougn they'd have more happy people too

36 %. It was really hard.

39%

61%, ehh, I thought I did better than that actually.

I got 54%. Why is everyone getting 54%?

Agreed.

Excessive joy and sadness were the easiest to recognize.

I scored 43%, it sures explains a lot... I use to think I was good at seeing emotions because I could tell from obvious facial expressions but I really am not when I have no context.

Joy: you correcly identified 3 of 4
Fear: you correcly identified 0 of 4
Disgust: you correcly identified 2 of 4
Surprise: you correcly identified 2 of 4
Anger: you correcly identified 2 of 4
Sadness: you correcly identified 2 of 4
Contempt: you correcly identified 0 of 4

I confuse almost everything with "surprise". Ironically, I confused surprise with happiness

Some of them seemed pretty neutral to me.

I got a 54% as well. I feel like I can read faces okay if the expressions are obvious like joy, fear and anger. But the sadness and contempt ones were confusing...

I scored 50%. A lot of the pictures looked the same to me.
