face blindness tests

[Guest guest]

Kinda of weird, as I never watch TV, but I got a lot of the faces

right in the " familiar faces " test. But not as many as I got right on

the " total strangers " (old face/new face, but I didn't KNOW any of

the faces) test. I went by the eyebrows. That was the main thing I

used to memorize them.

Online tests are fun. I took these because I was not sure just how

faceblind I am. More than the average popoulation but not really bad.

The more I see you, the more I know you, unless I don't see you for 6

months, in which case I am likely to not know you, even though I

should....

I got 52% correct. " On our previous version of this test, the average

person with normal face recognition was able to recognize about 85%

of the faces they were familiar with. If you missed more than half of

the faces you were familiar with, this may indicate face recognition

difficulties. "

Out of 20 target faces (ones you studied in the first part of this

test), you correctly identified 17.

Out of 30 nontarget faces (ones that didn't study in the first part

of this test), you correctly responded that you had not seen 20 of

them.

Overall, you got 74% correct The average person with normal face

recognition scores about 85% on this test. If you scored less than

75% on this test, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.
