Reading the Mind in Films and the Cambridge Mindreading Face-Voice battery. Both are better.

I am NT-ish and got a 30 and then a 46%.
I don't know if this would work for people on the spectrum, but for me, if I imitate the expression, even in just a flicker like they did it, it helps me identify what it was. Almost like the muscles in my face recognize the corresponding emotion more than my eyes do.
I do think they might down-score people though. I believe that I am a fairly good microexpression reader, or at least that's what I was told by someone who studies such things. I do not think I came by it naturally, though. I think it is an adaptive skill for some people. I think I have learned it by watching people so closely. |

| I`ve read that it`s really hard to fake a body language, to fake micro-expressions should be next to impossible, no? I mean, those two people doing it, they are pretending...so it would be normal that their expressions won`t trigger the proper response in our brain as it`s basically a lying. You can tell if somebody is lying because their body doesn`t lie, right? |

"Your score: 0%"
I thought I got 3 right but apparently not.

Wouldn't seeing one microexpression like on this test be somewhat like hearing 3 words out of a conversation? What happened to context? Audio cues that will trigger an alertness? I would say the questions or events leading up to a microexpression is just as important to figure out what it means. Anyone who have seen "Lie to me" will agree. 
" *blank* my foot *blank* ass" is easy to misunderstand. "If you come any closer, I will break my foot off in your ass" or "I went out walking, and suddenly my foot slipped and I fell on my ass"

This was my score too, and I did the same thing you did. It was a bit of a process of elimination, too. |

Thats kindof what I thought, although could be wrong of course.
Additionally, I don't know about other 'NT's but for me interpreting the meaning behind subtle expressions requires contextual or background information that we are not privy to in a simple video clip. At least thats the sort of information I use to understand people. |

Right. It takes training, practice and natural talent. One of the things that separates good actors from just-ok actors is the ability to do this. I don't think the two actors hired for this project are at the necessary level of expertise. |

Yeah, I saw that too. There's this guy just standing there, with a blank look on his face... Then for half a second, he appears to grin... But no, that's not happiness, it's fear... I gave up after failing miserably on the first 3 or 4... |

Thank you for the Reading the Mind in Films and the Cambridge Mindreading Face-Voice battery!!
I scored way above NTs even, so I'm totally surprised now. I did know that I don't have a problem with body language and intonation/tone of voice, but this is weird...!!
