I got 16 out of 20.
I was looking at what I thought would be genuine movement in the face so I guess I did pretty well.
17/20 - I knew the tip, although I was interested in how they explained it in greater detail.
16/20. I knew what to look for. Three of my four misses were genuine smiles that I thought were fake, for what it’s worth.
I got 19/20. I guess I knew what to look for (shrugs). What does one’s outlook on life (optimistic/pessimistic) have to do with it? There is a question at the start of the quiz on this.
17 out of 20. I didn’t know that trick, that’s just always what I’ve looked for, so nice to know it’s based on something factual. There was some study ages ago that I read about that indicated that children can tell when people are lying. To me it’s kind of a duh, as I can, too, but I can’t quantify it. Now that the smile-fakery thing has been quantified, I supposed I need to watch Lie to Me and actually pay attention. 
I got 18/20 as well…
I sort of guessed the tip ahead of time, I also find that real smiles make me feel like smiling back - but I am a pretty optimistic person 
It’s not just the eyes…the genuine smilers used their bodies, too.
I scored 9 out of 20. It surprised me because I have been very successful playing poker.
- I agree with Runs With Scissors, it’s not just the eyes, though they’re a big part.
18…missed 2 and 9.
Hot Damn 20 out of 20!
I am also very curious about the optimism scale at the beginning. Maybe we are the subjects of a different kind of experiment. I rated myself at the highest end of the optimism scale.
If I had to guess more optimistic people tend to be more wrong. I’ve read studies that optimistic people are worse judges of …um… things…than more pessimistic people. And depressive people are actually seeing the world more accurately. To which I’ve always said Who The Fuck Cares?
It seemed to me the real smilers had been told a joke and were not only smiling but laughing.
Can’t believe I got 16/20. Most of the time I just guessed based on instinct. The few I got wrong were ones where I actually missed getting a good look at the smile because I timed the click wrong. Otherwise, maybe I’d gotten an even higher score. I guess I know when people are faking it.
Yeah, last time I found that looking at the eyes messed me up. On another test I did much better, and, in that one, I just went with instinct.
I did a lot better than I thought, scoring 17 of 20. I’m curious what the average is, because I would score myself as below average on my general ability to read people.
I focused only on the eyes this time, which is probably the reason I did so much better than expected. I will note, though, that when I fake smiles I deliberately close and scrunch up my eyes a little. I think I have a convincing fake smile. Would be curious how many people would misread me if I was one of the faces.
