Face Recognition Test

[Bufo]

This is a test of your ability to recognize unfamiliar faces. While anyone can take this test, it was created as a way for people to assess whether or not they have face recognition difficulties.

I didn't remember until the "20 secs to review the faces" part that I'd already done this test before. Even so, I was pretty amazed by my score- I'm never good at remembering faces. When the faces first came on I tried to imagine characteristics for them depending on their eyebrows- but it went by too fast to cement anything. I guess the human brain *is* wired to remember faces- even when it's not obvious, there's a brief feeling of familiarity.

When the fuzzy images started coming on I imagined they were all actors in a Qing dynasty martial arts flick- (With the shaved half-heads)- hence all the weird expressions they kept making.

Geez, now I feel all deficient. Do y'all spend time memorizing faces in case someone perpetrates a crime and you have to create one of those police sketches?

For some of us, the results might appear contradictory to our perception of ourselves. In fact, irl we don't concentrate that much on other people's faces as we did while taking the test.

I don't I concentrated that much on the test either, they just looked familiar to me.

But I think I'd do really badly if it was a "put name to face" test.
