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

Always one of my biggest issues. Now, which one was Brittney Spears?

Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 53.
In other words, you got 74% correct.

That was hard, I was guessing a lot on the last part. I'm surprised I got that many right.

I have always had aterrible time recognizing faces. I got 64%. Toward the end, though, the pictures wouldn't load, so I just pressed stuff to get it over with.

People get very offended talking to me because I don't recognize them until they tell me details about how I know them. I didn't know that was a phenomenon with its own name. I thought it was just aprt of me being weird.

That was really interesting, I did the shoe and car tests for the first time, I scored a 96% on the shoes (average is 95%) and a 84% on the cars (average is 85%). I don't do well on the face tests at all, I always score well below average, and on the celebrity test I actually did not get a single one right! I thought Danny Divito was Partick Stewart for crying out loud!

Yesterday my neighbours house was being shown, I had no idea who the "agent" was, and asked some pretty generic questions like "so are you the listing agent?" and she looked at me kind of oddly like "yeah, I am, actually I am the daughter of the lady who lives right across the street from you we have met before! Oh yeah, we have only like talked with eachother for HOURS and HOURS when all added up over the last few years! 8O

So anyway, my problem is not with poor recognition skills or any object, just faces! I wish they had something like a dog face recognition test, I would love to know if this is just a a "human" thing with me!

OMG I can't recognize cars. I reported a crime in progress. The cop showed up and, because I could only tell him that it was a big, silver truck that had gone off that way, and not the make or year, (we could still here it crashing into stuff around the corner, BTW) he accused me of being high!! !

No, officer, I can only tell trucks apart by their color all of the time. I just...they all look the same to me. So do men with crew cuts and baseball caps.

Lucky you. I've got the same problem with vehicles... plus I'm colorblind. I saw a motercycle get stolen while at work one morning. Nothing I could do but say... "uh, it was a truck" so I didn't say anything at all.

This is much higher than I would have expected. I usually wait to see if somebody
recognizes me, and if they do, I know that it is somebody that I am supposed to
recognize. Then I narrow down the possibilities with non-facial clues and make my best guess.
It really throws me when I see somebody out of their usual context.
