Seems to be pretty decent. Anonymous, no login required.

PS: The MERT is super-annoying though, with everyone yelling gibberish...

Mini-PONS 53 out of 64 correct

(If that's a short form, I'd hate to see the long form!)

Mini-PONS: 48 out of 64.

The website does seem rather interesting.

yeah, as mentioned before, you probably should avoid the MERT then. Not only does it take very long, it can also rapidly get on your nerves if you have sensory issues.

The long test is painfully long.

Quote:

You have now reached the end of the MERT and your test scores have been computed. Below you see two columns of accuracy scores, indicating the percentage of expression items in different modalities that were correctly judged. The left column contains your scores, the right column contains the corresponding values for the MERT validation sample (72 psychology students at the University of Geneva.)

YOUR accuracy scores (in %)
Still Face only--------57
Voice only-------------43
Video Face only-----67
Audio-Video----------57

Comparison Group Mean accuracy scores (in %)
Still Face only--------56
Voice only-------------49
Video Face only-----69
Audio-Video----------70

Interesting that controls do better with more information, and I don't....probably because I can only pay attention to one part of the nonverbals at a time no matter how many I'm presented with.

It would be a more challenging test if they didn't just recycle the same limited clips in bits and pieces -- if you can recognize the voice + string of nonsense words and associate them with the visuals they go with (or vice versa), then it's easier than if you had to figure it out from only one source of nonverbal information...plus you get multiple tries at the exact same one and thereby increase your chances of getting the right answer on later questions.

43/64. Since 32/64 is chance, that means I'm probably capable of some degree of emotion-reading. The performance above chance probably has something to do with my being able to tell apart basic emotions--like telling apart intense and non-intense emotions, or knowing when an emotion probably will, or will not, be associated with a smile. I am also pretty good at recognizing threat postures, though that's mostly because I had to learn that, or-else.

42 out of 64. Far worse than I expected.

I did the MERT. I thought it would never end! My score was a 40% accuracy, and I think (sorry, I closed the page!) a 60% compared to everyone else.

I don't really get this test. I noticed the same clips get repeated multiple times but sometimes there are completely different pairs of "situations" to choose from.
