100%
79%

I make a story to remember faces - I am an artist, too - so I think that helps. So often in real-life, though, I have a hard time discerning if I know someone or not - I mistake strangers for people I should know well and I am not sure when I am looking at people I know if that is really who I am looking at - and sometimes I wonder if they can recognize me in return.

Recognition Score - 187%

Temporal Memory Score - 75%

3 or 4 faces from Part 2 apparently I thought I saw in Part 1. The scrawny Indian fellow from Part 2 apparently I forgot about altogether. I recognized all the "new" faces as such.

I scored:

Quote:

Recognition score (if you saw it ) Your score: 187% recognition score (I recognised 45 photos)

Your score: 62% temporal memory score (matched 28 photos to the correct part) (against average score of 68%)

In the section above you made 0 "false positive(s)". That is, thinking you remembered seeing the photo when you hadn't seen it before. Average false positive score is 1-3.

I've had quite a few glasses of champagne a few hours ago though so my score could perhaps have been better on the temporal memory.

Now my maths may be bad, but how can you get 187%?

I got too overwhelmed and quit the test halfway through trying to remember what I'd seen and what I hadn't ... so there ya go.

You remembered seeing 45 pictures out of 24. Or 1.875 times as many pictures as you actually saw. Or 187%.

But it says 0 false positives.

How can you possibly get more than 100% ?

This is a useless test. It doesn't test what it professes to test -Viz face recognition.
It only tests whether you recognise particular, distinctive photos.
Now, if they showed passport photos of all males or all females from a similar ethnic origin and same age... And then showed DIFFERENT photos of the same people (passport or situational) THAT would be a worthwhile test... And I certainly wouldn't score anywhere near 100%

There were two parts! Verdandi explained your score above.

I was also wondering, if some people even took the actual test, because they acted like 100 % was the highest figure possible...

Like someone else said, how could someone get 187% with 0 False positives? I had a similiar score. My apologies if the answer is obvious and I'm just not seeing it . . . :?:

From all 24 photos shown in Parts 1 & 2, you recognised: 21 photo(s).

From all the photos you recognised, you matched: 14 photo(s) to the correct part. "

70% 76%. I'm zombified on xanax at the moment so the old short term memory isn't working too well.

What??? I must be being really thick. But apparently I'm not the only one, a couple of other people have also posted asking how on earth you can get more than 100%, how you can get 187% if you had no false positives and if you got no false positives how did you recognise 45 photos if there were only twenty something? How can you see more photos than there were, and I only clicked the button for each photo there was. (whistles tune from X Files :shrug:

)

Just doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me.
