The average is 80%
I got 65%
Below 65% indicates difficulties

The test takes between 10-15 minutes. It is fairly boring but it's interesting to know the end result. It's difficult.

Someone at work took it and got 82%

Now I'm wondering how well people here do on it

Ive done this before and got something around 65%. I was expecting to score more badly, as in real life I am not good at faces at all, but I think the difference is that in real life I dont look at faces enough to recognise people, whereas in this test I looked carefully.

I expected to get a lower score too.

cool im gonna take the quiz now



edit: my results

Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 44.
In other words, you got 61% correct.

Grayhound let me tell you why I think this test is kind of flawd Just my 2 cents...It starts with the word MEMORIZE. It gives the brain a precise command, it tells you to FOCUS on memorizing. Of course you tend to pay more attention (or at least some people would be tempted to do so). It's not the same as when you see some guy at work but no one is there to "order" you to memorize his face for later purposes:)

I got a 94.

grayhound, yeah. So the score doesn't reflect reality:) I know that. I think the problem is as you said, not being able to remember to memorize the faces...or not even caring to memorize them:)

Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 59.
In other words, you got 82% correct.

Well that was a shock...I wasn't sure on alot of them towards the end.

67 % here.

"Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 67.

I think it is because I'm a sculptor (but not for a living), and can make an exact, real life copy of anyone's face and head in clay, which may be an Aspie trait.

If I had been asked to look at those faces without knowing why, I'm sure I would have remembered very few of them.

Recognizing people in real life is challenging though, because I rarely look at people's faces unless I am studying them hard for some reason, such as thinking they are threatening, strange or unusual. Or, of course, because I am sculpting them.

I just took the test.

Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 38.
In other words, you got 53% correct.

Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 51.
In other words, you got 71% correct.

In my case it is in agreement with the real life: my ability to remember faces is just average.

Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 67.
In other words, you got 93% correct.

thsts my resolts

Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 50.

That last section was hard, I don't think I got anything right except the fat faces. It's pretty easy when they make one bigger than the rest.
