Read emotion from eyes (Baron-Cohen quiz)

Post Reply New Topic

25/36, which is great until you realise not making eye-contact means you never get a chance to pick up on these emotions anyway.

27/36 though I think I'm only any good because I can work out which ones they probably aren't by elimination. In the real world you aren't given a choice...

Before I looked at the supplied answers I'd usually think the eyes were showing boredom.

23/36

I guessed for most of them. I kept thinking they had sun in their eyes or they were tired.

I got 23/36. Blimey, this was hard.

24/36

hooray for multiple choice. Most of these expressions looked the same to me.

21. Many of them looked angry because of the eyebrows like this \ / but the options were all happy and flirtatious...

Did anyone score below 20?

I'm ashamed to admit it but I did.

I got 25, but I've done a very similar test before. I could remember what some of the pictures meant.

30 / 36.

There is an inherent flaw in this kind of multiple choice test though. I would never have guessed most of the emotions if I the test had given me a blank field to write down the answer. But the predefined choices allowed me to pick one that seemed to make sense.

That doesn't mean I would have recognized the same facial expression in a social situation, without a set of emotions to choose from. In many cases I was just guessing, based on considerations like "wait, I already picked that answer earlier on and it was right, so this will likely be something else".
