Whoa, I did quite a bit better than I thought:

The correct answers for the ones you missed are:
6: fantasizing
15: contemplative
19: tentative
23: defiant
24: pensive
25: interested
30: flirtatious
31: confident

There were a few that totally confused me though. #30, for example, I was positive that the woman's eyes were expressing some kind of animosity. If this hadn't been a multiple choice test I don't know if I have gotten so many correct.

I find it amazing that so many emotions are supposed to be communicated by human eyes (and eyebrows) alone. It's a good thing I have other parts of people's faces to look at in my day-to-day life, otherwise I'd be totally lost! Confused

I scored 28...I thought I was a genius until I saw that several other aspie got the same.

Did you guys figure them out through process of elimination . I couldn't tell it was the emotion I ended up putting but I could tell that it wasn't one of the more obvious ones..like anger or disappointment. I know many expressions from watching movie and TV...I seldom look at peoples faces in real life and I think that is the real reasn that they think aspies can't "read" NVC.

It's not that we can't but that we can't if we are affraid to look at people or there are to many other things to process....like their words, other people talking, the TV is on and some one expects an answer on a question I barley heard because of auditory processing disorder...

I got 28. I'm better at tests where I'm allowed to take my time.

I was surprised I did so well. I guess we've learnt how to read faces and we use different circuitry than NTs. I had to think hard, I couldn't go by feeling.

What would happen if you tryed to read the expression in eye's while your being spoken to?
That is when it all get's a bit tricky,like missing what the person has just said because you where looking at there eye's.And that is if you can without feeling like someone has shone a bright light into your eye's and taken all the air out of the room Laughing .
