Oh soop just for a moment I thought I was best, awww, shucks grin

soop Fri 24-May-13 15:28:55

grin Sel...I found the females easier to read than the males.

Sel Fri 24-May-13 15:32:48

I took a lot of guesses so was quite surprised. Obviously we've missed our calling soop - crack interrogators smile

Charleygirl Fri 24-May-13 16:11:52

I achieved 24-where did I go wrong? I found the female eyes impossible to decipher.

27 - Thought I would do better!

Atqui Fri 24-May-13 17:18:43

30

janeainsworth Fri 24-May-13 17:27:24

Well I only got 22.
Hardly surprising as most of my answers were wild guesseshmm

j08 Fri 24-May-13 17:29:44

I think several of them had to be guesses. #sourgrapes

harrigran Fri 24-May-13 17:45:02

31 about what I expected.

Grannyeggs Fri 24-May-13 17:54:27

27, I thought I would do better!

baubles Fri 24-May-13 20:06:10

Well I'm a complete dunce! I scored 17 blush

It is an interesting experiment .... first came across it when my daughter used it on the route to her Aspergers diagnosis.

mollie Fri 24-May-13 20:54:35

28 for me...

Deedaa Fri 24-May-13 21:09:46

I got 30 although I seemed to be going for the same emotions all the time!

Sbagran Fri 24-May-13 22:44:37

33 out of 36 but I did take a few seconds on several before deciding. What would be interesting would be being able to look back through and discover which we got wrong and see if we agreed with the 'correct' answer? hmm

25 I thought I could read faces.

grannyactivist Sat 25-May-13 00:01:35

25 for me. I must admit that I didn't spend any time studying the eyes - too tired, just went with gut instinct. Rotten instincts huh?

Faye Sat 25-May-13 00:10:25

Same here ga I rushed through it, and probably rotten instincts. Though I often know what people are thinking before they say it.

soop Sat 25-May-13 11:38:08

Baubles smile and a (hug)

Elegran Sat 25-May-13 12:40:31

I would like to know whether they were real people experiencing real emotions, or actors simulating them.

Faye Sat 25-May-13 14:14:12

I would like to know too Elegran. When people are genuinely smiling the area around their eyes creases up. Fake smilers have no expression around their eyes and I don't remember any genuine smiles. hmm

Enviousamerican Sat 25-May-13 15:16:41

I got 27.After a few,I took longer thinking I might be imagining the emotion instead of seeing it. Fun though.

petallus Sat 25-May-13 15:29:22

28 - good fun!

glammanana Sat 25-May-13 17:24:58

Wow !! that was a shock I got 33 out of 36 so some of the old grey matter must still be in working order.grin
