Incidentally, if you go to the Emotions Revealed or Paul Ekman web sites, you can find some more information on this topic.
I got 13 out of 20. I think it was because I too was distracted by the two hotties in the middle of the list.
19 out of 20. I missed #19. I’m still not convinced I was WRONG on that one, either.
It’s all in the eyes and the eyebrows. You can fake crinkly corners if you try hard enough, but there’s some subtle eyebrow thing that happens with the real thing. The two of them together are the key for me.
14/20. And:
AMEN!
10/20…ack.
I tended to label more genuine as fakes, though, I guess I’m just too much of a skeptic.
14/20
The majority of the wrong ones- I said Fake.
Wow! 18/20 I was expecting to suck out loud. I am so not a people person.
What was the education/employment quiz at the start for? Are they saving the results for a survey?
13/20. Could’a been worse, I suppose. I was also one of those who got distracted by the really rrrowrl-worthy ones towards the middle, there. (Yes, yes, I know, excuses, excuses…)
17/20. I thought three genuines were fakes, and I was wavering on those three. My profession has made me distrustful, apparently.
It’s all about the eyes for me. If people smile with their mouths but not their eyes, it’s fake.
15/20 No excuses except i’m a good guesser.
This is the method I used. I also go 19 out of 20.
12 out of 20. Hah! You guys may congratulate yourself on knowing the difference, but ***I * ** am surrounded by nice people who like me!
I do qualify as an extreme optimist. Maybe that has something to do with it :sigh:
16 out of 20. I whiffed on 8, 13, 14 and 15.
15 out of 20. Then I went and tried one of their “Face Perception” tests where you see two nearly identical faces (they looked like they were morphed with other people to slightly change certain features) and choose which face you prefer of the two. I was at a loss for what to do if I thought they were all butt-ugly. So I did the best I could and I get to the end of the test and it gives me a “?” for the results. Ok. . . .
15 of 20–it was something about the eyes and what happened when they stopped smiling, the recovery, if you will.
Then I went on and took the “disgust” test and was exposed to the most vile image I think I’ve ever seen. In the summary it’s described thusly:
Thank you, BBC, thank you very much.
