I was just kinda curious, since the Mind in the Eyes test was brought up and our scores seem to range considerably, whether there might be some correlation between scores and facial recognition.

So for those who have taken the test and are aware of their facial recognition abilities, does a low score on MET occur with facial recognition troubles (prosopagnosia)? Do those who score higher on the MET have fewer problems with facial recognition-- maybe even are very good at it? Or do the two not have a consistent correlation.

What is your score and do you have any prosopagnosic traits??

I did very good on the Mind in the Eyes test, but not so good on the facial recognition test.

edit: forgot to put my scores
27 for eyes test, 65% for face recognition

I got 30 on the eyes and pretty well on the face, though I don't remember the exact percentage. Something in the NT range.

I got a 22 on the eye test, and I got somewhere in the 80% range on the face test.

Here's a link to a couple of the faces tests which I've seen used most often: http://www.icn.ucl.ac.uk/facetests/ (Particularly the Famous Faces test and the Cambridge test)
