Can you spot a genuine smile? - PhotoCamel

Uncle Frank · 09-12-2005

I think this is a very interesting test for aspiring portrait artists.

I got 15 out of 20 correct. How does that compare with your score?

16 out if 20 for me.

metalstorm · 09-13-2005

17 of of 20. It took me a few to get warmed up but after I saw the pattern, it was pretty easy. I missed 2 out of the first 5. Then only 1 for the rest. Cool link. Thanks.

deluco · 09-13-2005

17 out of 20, but then I was faking it.

ohenry · 09-13-2005

Man...I see I better go back and study more.

Paul Shields · 09-13-2005

11 out of 20... I thought that more than anything else, the study only reinforced the cliche about English teeth, and showed the current state of British dentistry more than anything else*. :-[

* Yes, I'm and Englishman with typically English teeth :P

14 out of 20 but the next time I did it I got 20 out of 20.....LOL

J Holmes · 11-09-2005

17 out f 20. I thought the eyes gave them away.

alan.lush · 11-17-2005

Damn, I thought I was doing well with 15, and I knew about the research in advance of doing the test.

dvdowns · 11-22-2005

Only 11/20 which shows I am male . Women will often get better results because of " a gut feeling " which is actually just the fact that they are more observant than men and have "wide angle lenses " for eyes that see a bigger area . Men have 300mm lenses for eyes and don't always see the whole picture .

16/20....
