Can you recognize faces?

Post Reply New Topic

I can't tell them apart. Sometimes if I see someone in an unfamiliar place I will think they are a different person.

Not really - I have a prosopagnosia (but a mild case of one, luckily). And I have problems with recognizing what the look on a person's face can mean - like once my uncle was almost crying and I didn't know what this weird look on his face meant.

I am pretty good in recognizing faces, people, their names and surnames but I can not recognize if it is this concrete person or only someone very similar to this concrete person.

Something interesting: https://psyc.bbk.ac.uk/e/facememorytest/startup.php - Cambridge Face Memory Test I didi this test some times in my life and I scored below 60% all times despite not having prosopagnosia (I have poor memory to specific visual details, I have relatively small amount of visual thinking).

https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/memory - Here is an interesting test visual memory test. I did this a moment ago with music in background (probably first time in my life) and I achieve "Level 13" (which is really good result for me in this test because visual thinking is not my strongest skill).

PS. I did visual memory test two times again and first time I "scored" Level 10 (quite poor), but second time I "scored" again Level 13 and it was 68,4% percentile.

I can recognize faces. It's the names that go with them I have problems remembering.
