How good are you are at reading peoples' emotions by looking at their eyes?
Here exists a test. There are a total number of 36 pairs of eyes. 25 is approximately the average number of eye pairs that people determine correctly. Scoring above 30 is considered superb. With a score of 10 or bellow, an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (or perhaps merely Extreme Systematizing, in Simon Baron-Cohen terms) is likely.

Your score: 31
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30,
you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions
around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult.

I started taking it and quickly realized I was pretty much guessing the whole time. I guess I'm not good at deciphering emotion through eyes.

You might want to consider taking it all the way anyway, because I guessed my way through it and still ended up with 32 :shock:

This is rather interesting information, as it might strongly suggest that I do, in fact, have Asperger Syndrome.

You, Uber, as previously indicated, have Asperger Syndrome and scored 18.

When I first took the test, I scored 7.

Hmmm.

I'm just not interested to see how good a guesser I am. If I don't know what I'm doing it seems pointless to me. :shrug:

1- You ISTJ, you :laugh: !

2- One of the points of this test is to show most people that they actually know much more about reading people's emotions through their eyes than they thought. IOW: to see "how good a guesser they are" ;)

I don't think I'd use this test as a valid screening, but you said that you do have OCD, which tends to be present in people with Asperger's syndrome.

I only got a 23, so there's not quite anything wrong with me, but I'm still not doing very well.

I think I had a really hard time spotting emotions that I rarely have myself.
