13 of 20 for me, but I guessed on quite a few as well.

In addition to being an Aspie I never look at peoples faces & am extremely nearsighted to the point where I would have to be invading peoples personal space to make out everything on their face clearly. I thought abit before taking a guess for each one on this quiz & I'm shocked that I actually got them all correct. It's amazing that with all the ways Aspergers causes difficulties for me with interaction I'm only disabled in this one Aspie area due to my vision. If one disorder is not screwing me over the other one is

12/20.

Interesting note:
I got the first few questions completely wrong, so I decided, instead of simply looking at the faces, to try and mimic them with my own face. Doing this, I almost always got the question right.
My theory is that, while I lack the ability to read facial expressions, I can still see what they are objectively, and mimic them; and this causes me to dimly feel the corresponding emotion.
Doing this, however, took much more time than would be allocated in a normal conversation, so it's not an effective strategy for real life (besides, if you mimicked a person's facial expression every time you talked to them, people might start to get freaked out).

I got 15 out of 20 correct. I kind of was guessing on the love expressions. And the pain expression kind of stumped me. I pretty much have anger and sadness down pat though. Makes sense given I have anger problems and I get sad pretty frequently.

I got 15/20 but only because I tried what physicsnut42 did when I wasn't sure. Also, most of it was wild guessing. I will memorize the faces and start identifying them in people in real life starting now...
