Mind in the eyes test

Post Reply New Topic

I scored 13 and couldn't guess most of them but I think that is mostly because we cannot see the whole face. I find it hard to see some emotions but when you grow up, you tend to notice patterns linked to feelings in other's people faces thanks to tears, smiles, etc.
Well, most of the time, I can either see "happiness" or "sadness", perhaps anger, nothing more, yet I am pretty sure this test is hard for almost everyone. Most of the eyes just look the same.
In reality, I try to pay attention to other's people emotions and some are very obivous, I'm not saying that this score should not be mine but I think it can be easier with a real face, voice tone and movement. (I usually avoid looking in the eyes so...)

(Funny fact : I can't draw facial expressions easily and the "relaxed eye" of SoSayWeAll looks angry to me ).

I got 27. I did better at this than I expected! But as others have pointed out, most people's expressions aren't as static as a picture, so it's probably more difficult to read eyes in real life than it is on the test.

uh... god,imust be awful, I got 11
well done to everyone who got a good score, though

Heh heh....."I'm more autistic than you! So there."

I got 24.

Pictures since they remain still are very easy especially since you aren't in the middle of social contact with a person and subconscious multi-tasking, reading lips because you can't make out what is said half the time if you don't, keeping up and trying not to be distracted by sounds in the distance, stimming or trying not to stim by hiding your hands and wringing them behind your back.

This test isn't an accurate assessment considering alot of the issues pertaining to social aspect deal with a combination of sounds, nervousness, stimming, sensory, multi-tasking, lip reading vs. reading a still picture minus all of the other additives that make social aspects tougher.

I didn't do this test on the website but I done it during my diagnosis as it was part of that.
I scored 11 out of 36 it took me 6 minutes to do the test, as the test is timed (not sure if it is timed on the website).

i got a 28. I think this test would be hard for anyone, including NTS. There is a lot of atypical vocab used..such as aghast or despondent. Noone says those words typically lol. Also the guy who was ''upset'' looked terrified to me.

28.

I am (or was) an illustrator, and have a lot of experience doing portraits. With that, I was able to pick apart each question based on a number of constants I learned about facial expression in portraiture. For instance, I know that eyebrows sloping up towards the nose indicates a negative expression. I know that face pointed away from camera but eyes pointing towards it indicates things along the lines of defensive, suspicious or frightened. Since the four multiple choice answers were generally split 50/50 between neutral and negative, neutral and positive, or positive and negative, I was able to rule out many of the given options before selecting my answer.

This is far easier for me to do with a static picture without time constraint. If I have time and a set of multiple choices, one of which must be correct, I can manage. Things get a whole lot more difficult when the face is constantly moving, producing sounds (both proper words and emotive noises), body is moving as well. This test is different from the sorts of things I did in my assessment. Assessment had things like listening to audio clips then picking the picture which best fit the tone of voice and statement of the audio clip. For multiple choice emotion related, it was the inverse of this test; they would give one emotion/expression in text, then I had to select which photo fit best out of a set of four. Like that.

That's what I tried to do, and I got the same results. Then I decided, "screw it, I can't read people's eyes," and closed the window.

I scored a 21. And I was thinking the same thing about the test. And I think the pictures of the eyes were dated. I got distracted by all the makeup.

Your score: 15
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30,
you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions
around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult.

I scored 28 on the test, but I believe my high score was due to picking the most likely answer. I was constantly bewildered by the expressions, and if I had to choose my own description instead of multiple choice, I would have scored much worse. Most of my reactions to each expression wasn't even close to any of the four possible answers. I would have also scored much worse if the test was timed.

I don't think this is a fair test.

I got 30. But I took a half an hour, because I studied the multiple choice answers. I tossed two of them, and then made my choice.

15, and I think a couple of those were lucky guesses..

Your score: 31
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30, you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions around their eyes.

I kicked this thing's butt.
This is especially funny because I have faceblindness!
HAHAHA!

I may not be able to recognize my family and my best friends when they wear hats, but heck! I can ID facial expressions of vapid magazine models like you wouldn't believe!

useless...
