Im annoyed that the proceed button is on the other side of the screen.

so I quit lol

4/23/2013 11:32:22 PM

32, funny considering how socially inept i can be

4/23/2013 11:34:29 PM

I got 25/36

I'm very socially inept, and this only reinforces my poor impression of myself

4/23/2013 11:35:36 PM

^
that's average, dude

oh wait, I'm not remembering my raw score correctly...I think I was 1 below the average

anyway, I subconsciously expect most people to score above average on a test like this (even though logically you'd expect people to score the average, on average)

but it seems to be happening, nonetheless ^^, ^, etc.

bc most people are not going to post their sub-average results.

(^^^people who scored below the average are less likely to report their score. also, i bet people who aren't good at it kinda suspect it and don't finish the test)

better than i thought...kinda interesting i guess.

4/24/2013 12:19:45 AM

21/36 I might take it again. It was very difficult for me to decipher just the eyes. I always focus on the eyes when I talk to someone so I thought I would have done better than I did.

I'm curious to find out if this study has more implications that what is put forward in the summary (re: gender constructs, etc). I noticed that all the females were very similar in appearance, age, race, makeup style, and what could be interpreted as similar levels of widely-accepted standard of beauty. The men, however, were all over the board.

So last night when I did it I was drunk (barely recalled doing it).

I got a 27 then.

Did it today and:

Thank you for participating!

Your score on this test was 33 out of 36.

The average result for adult population is 26 out of 36.

Note that your screen, ambient light, and other factors might have impacted your result. Also, because all the images used in this study were of Caucasians (i.e., white people), your exposure to Caucasian faces might also have affected your score.


So, it seems that being drunk negatively impacted my ability to gauge physical communication.

I am socially inept as fuck but I do keep pretty good eye contact in most situations

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

4/24/2013 12:14:38 PM

Am I the only one who got sub-20?

That is odd to me considering I am very good about maintaining eye contact while listening to people. Shrug.

4/24/2013 12:30:28 PM

Being real good at looking at something doesn't mean you know a thing about what you lookin' at.

4/24/2013 12:48:16 PM

I know what generic emotions I was supposed to click on given no context at all. That is damn useful

I'd think I'd glean something from it, but I guess the light's on and nobody's home.

30 out of 36.

Did anybody else think all the female eyes were DTF?

4/24/2013 1:19:46 PM

every time there were female eyes i looked for the "wants to choke on your cock" answer

4/24/2013 1:24:40 PM

lol

4/24/2013 1:27:44 PM

got a 27, thought I did much worse. Don't necessarily know what that means though....

4/24/2013 1:29:06 PM

All the chicks were hot as fuck. All the dudes were like 70 years old. What does that mean

4/24/2013 2:00:26 PM

not the political figures harvard types would adore either

Yeah, it was annoying, but ah well.
I'm surprised so many people responded to this. I'm also surprised that the average was so high.

I, too, took it twice. I did worse (well, 25/36 worse) when I was in a bad mood, I chose a lot more of the negative expressions

4/24/2013 9:40:07 PM

i dunno, but i got a 10/10 on a phishing attempt contest at work this week. what does that get me?

[Edited on April 24, 2013 at 11:39 PM. Reason : this is qntm btw. i got 33]

4/24/2013 11:28:32 PM

4/24/2013 11:55:57 PM

32

A lot of the picture angles / choices seemed like dead giveaways. I guess that reflects someone tilting their head or whatever.

I'm more terrified at what I give away (usually disinterest) through my eyes more then what I pick up. I have a hard time maintaining eye contact, but those seemed pretty easy.
