Can you spot the fake smile?

After doing the test linked in this thread, I did a couple more from the same site. I scored 19 out of 20 on Spot the fake smile. The one smile I got wrong is the only one I thought about changing my answer on. Quite fun!

That was fun! I missed one as well. Overall I thought it was pretty easy, but that may have been helped by the fact that many of the genuine smiles came from people who were laughing. Which I guess could be faked, but didn’t seem to be in this case.

I got 16 out of 20. Not bad.

Now *that *produced a real smile.

:smiley:

I got 13/20. Two of those wrong answers were for the genuine smiles.

16 out of 20. I said the eyes were the most important part of the face.

18 out of 20. Learning how to fake a smile comes up in acting class.

17 / 20 …

19/20 :d

I got 9 out of 20. I guess that means I’m an autistic sociopath, or something. :wink:

I only got 11/20

17 / 20

Any hints? I always look like I’m about to submit to a dental exam on pictures…

Well, except for that picture on my university student ID, where that gorgeous blonde was working the camera… :smiley:

16/20, which is better than I expected. I don’t really consider myself to be very good at spotting social subtleties.

I got 13/20. Interestingly, most of the ones I got wrong were genuine smiles that I thought were fake, rather then vica versa. Go figure.

Well, to clarify, I should say that we talked mostly about why fake smiles look fake, and how to fake a more plausible fake by wrinkling the eyes with the cheek muscles. It still looks fake close-up, but from the point of view of the audience sitting not that close to the stage, it looks less fake. Make sense?

I got a 16/20. It was an even split, I thought two fakes were real, and I thought two reals were fakes. Though it might have only been a 17/20 if the first smile played for me. I clicked play, and it didn’t play, but it only lets you play it once. Rather than reload, I just guessed.

And was it just me, or did their camera lens make most of their foreheads look REALLY big? Or maybe British people just have large foreheads naturally? :wink:

18 out of 20, and the two I missed were genuine, but I thought a bit forced. Was #13 male or female?

I got 18/20.
