That test annoyed the hell out of me. It was seriously ticking me off. I think there facial expressions sucked LOL. I don't even know if I can do contempt or some of the others correctly. SOme of them did look generic. If something is made up, how can you truly tell what they are feeling. I also need to hear what they are saying, the context and the tone of voice. I feel most of them looked confused...very very confused.

Why did that irritate me so much>?

Exactly. Send them to a bunch of NT's and see how they score.
I am "NT" although I am hearing from many people that they think I am somewhere on the spectrum. I did worse than a lot of people on here.

I am a school psych. The speech/language path has a test that assesses how well an individual is able to figure out what is happening in a picture and what a person is feeling. So you look at the context and facial expression and need to figure it out. There are no words and intonation so how can you really get an accurate reading. The speech path was showing me each question and I seriously failed at all of them. That is when I told her I felt the test actually sucked LOL, of course while smiling to make her think that I wasn't completely rude and that I was half kidding. I wasn't kidding. She knows me and just laughed.

Thank goodness I don't believe in projective personality tests.

I feel like I can read people in person, especially sitting in meetings. Then again, I am combining that with what they say. My facial expressions often don't match what I am thinking.

I had to think really hard for most of them, but I managed to get 50% which was way better than last time I did that test.

I got 61%... a decent score I think. I wonder what the average is (in the general population)?

Interestingly I got 0/4 on fear. On a hopefully unrelated note, people with antisocial personality disorder aka sociopaths "show impaired recognition of, and reaction to, fearful facial and vocal affect." (wikipedia)

This one was hard. I thought I'd gotten better, but I was really confused between contempt and disgust, and evidently misidentified most of the fears and angers.


BTW, did anyone else just have to correct the spelling mistake in the results?

I had some forum friends all NT's who completed this. They all received around the 50%

I think we have only proven that the people in that test are bad at making faces.

43% correct.

I couldn't ID anger at all 8O

I have no idea what people are thinking by their facial expressions. Im always having to guess.

I think these tests are easier than real life, because it's multiple choice. A lot of them I thought "blank expression... ok...let's see, my choices are... Ok, contempt is closest..."
