Did you go to the Greenwich university site? It froze once on me too

but I managed to get it to continue after waiting 15 minutes.

I'm disappointed it didn't work for you :-/

i have prosopagnosia, which is face-blindness. so i am the opposite of a super-recognizer! if i'm not looking directly at you, i can't visualize your face. i remember people by the general shape, style of clothes, distinguishing marks, voices, etc. when i was a kid if i lost my mom in the grocery store, i just walked around dumbly until i found someone wearing her style of coat.

Before doing the test, nope. I don't orient by faces, or faces alone. There's hundreds details about a person that can be noticed and that I'm better with describing with attention so all over the place as mine is. Focusing just on the faces bores the eff out of me, possibly panics me, and just isn't what I go by.

I'm terrible at recognizing faces. There are one or two people who I can recognize by their arses easier than I can by their faces.

I'm with @lightraze and @Anarchy... I'm face blind. If I look at you for five minutes in casual conversation and then you leave the room, I wouldn't be able to say what color your hair was, if you had facial hair, eye color, or even your general age sometimes (based on face alone).

I got 12 out of 14., think of myself as very good with faces..

 

[Mina]

That was interesting :) 13 of 14. I definitely struggled with seeing a face head-on, then recognizing it in profile, or vice-versa...that took some concentration!

Well done, @Berlinda and @Mina, I'm impressed :D

9 out of 14...what a shame for my profession, but I'm better with remembering voices. :confused:

Still a good score @Anrish, voices are just as useful ;)
