Spot The Fake Smile -- Quiz

Male, 15/20. Fairly even mix on my misses, although 3 of my misses I was inclined to go the other way at first, then talked myself out of it (numbers 5, 7 and 12).

female 19/20

it is all in the muscles around the eyes.

But I am cheating, I already knew that - one psychology class I took had a small segment in reading the face and body for clues.

Male 13/20

Male. 15/20 correct. I missed 3 males and 2 females. Answered “The eyes” at the end. Made me happy I knew what was missing, but disturbed that 25% faked me out :smiley:

female, 17/20

It’s in the eyes.

Female, 18/20. I missed 13, thinking it was maybe genuine, and 15, thinking it false. (I’m not sure of the gender of 13, to be honest, but 15 is a male.)

The eyes have it.

16/20 - Male

I missed 2 female and 2 male. Two of those were fake and two of those were genuine.

Female 13/20

I told myself to look at the eyes but ended up looking at the mouth. Clips were fast and I suck way worse than I thought.

16/20 Male.

All the ones i missed were genuine, that I thought were fake. Though I did have 2nd thought about 2 of those.

Jeezus! What’s with the meth users in thar? I found myself worried that some of those folk needed a good rehab program more than they needed to be taking part in a fake smile test.

15/20, female.

M -12/20 :frowning:

F: 19/20, judged strictly by amount of eye-crinkling.

19/20 Male. Number 17 was the one I got wrong.

I’m hardly one to judge, but my word there were some, … ah …, unusual looking people in that group.

Edited to add: I mean I scored 19/20 and am male. I’m not 95% male. :wink:

Male. 18/20. Mistook 4 and 12 as fake.

I concentrated on expressiveness of the eyes, particularly ‘eye crinkling.’

16/20. Only looked at the eyes & not the mouth, but still not a perfect guide for me clearly.

Missed the fourth person from the end of the quiz (# 17); I was pretty indecisive about his smile.

Olives and others pretty well nailed it with her reference to the eyes, but don’t forget other parts of the face.

I wonder if the person’s appearance had any effect on test answers…

18/20, female. Missed 11 and 17.

18/20, female. It’s the eyes for me too. I missed 15 and 17 since I labeled them as fake. Looks like I missed the two guys that were missed the most often. They were much more subdued than the other genuine smiles.

17/20, woman. I thought one genuine smile was fake, two fake were genuine. Eyes and head movement are the key but there were some tricky ones in there!

16/20, female. I missed one fake and thought three genuine were not.
