13/20. That just about matched my prior confidence in my ability to tell. I think I would do better in real life since I'd have more contextual clues.
When I was doing the test I often wasn't at all confident that I was doing OK although in those cases I was confident about I got nearly all right.
Forced to say what I was going by, I said the eyes but really I think I was less influenced by a single feature than by various gestalt properties of the face as a whole.
Interesting test.

18 out of 20. I'm not surprised. I usually know when someone is trying to manipulate me.

But didn't you misjudge any genuine smiles as fake?Cynth wrote:Gosh, I only got 10 of 20. So half the people that smile at me don't really mean it. Oh dear. I wonder which half?
I got 17/20, which is much better than I expected. I misjudged one as genuine and two as fake, but I think I mismarked one of those. (With my memory, it's hard to be sure.)
