Just been on R4 about people good at recognising faces.

Take the test.

12 out of 14 for me.

12 here too

I’m generally not very good at faces and shit at names

6 out of 14 for me. Shows just how unreliable witness identification is.

12 for me.

9, but I reckon it would have been higher if it was pics of women. Hard to get that interested in the various contours/features of another bloke’s mush.

9 – the ones I was wrong on were pretty close and I got a bit distracted on a few when I should have been digesting the first image a bit more.

10 for me. Harder than it looks

12 for me. I’m quite good with faces. Names, not so much.

11.

11.. i wonder if they have one of women? And whether I would have a better or worse result

snap on 11

10. OK I guess. I’m quite good at recognising people, but rubbish at remembering names.

12

5.

Explains why Mrs. Tillydog won’t watch ‘whodunnit’ type films with me.

18

It’s ‘pick one’, not ‘pick all your relatives’ 🙂

12 as well, got 10 and 11 wrong.

11 but I’m rubbish at recognising people and hopeless at names.

10, always thought of myself as being pretty bad at faces

I got bored half way through, so that’s probably a black mark.

11, lol.

14 but I used to work modeling heads for a football game so I’ve had to look at a lot of faces.

8/12 which is a pleasant supprise, I’d rather not get involved with Plod and this means I get left alone.

And, jury service can go sod off as well..

It’s ‘pick one’, not ‘pick all your relatives’

Not enough monobrows for me to claim any of them as relatives.

11 for me. I thought that was quite tough

11, but my kids are sitting about ten feet away playing a raucous game of scrabble, so I was slightly distracted.

11. Beer probably not helping.

I got 13 out of the 14 🙂

11 – I was 10/11, but it went horribly wrong at the end, surprising as I’d say the same as footflaps – but I guess this was testing much shorter term memory

Quite impressed at piemonster’s 18/14 – give that man a coconut.

I’ve always been hopeless at remembering faces and this test proves it – 6/14.
My short term memory is appalling as well, I wonder if the two are linked?

A borderline 10 for me.

Enjoyed that.

13. As a trained visual artist I’d hope to be pretty OK at this kind of thing. Observation and visual memory are kind of my stock in trade.

11 for me

Is this actually a thing?

11.
How come everyone get’s 11?
I am slghty dtnunk

14… I’ll be honest though, one was a complete guess as my mind wondered to other more pressing issues…

10/14 for me as I thought I could do better …

6 here and that was trying. Explains why I struggle to remember anyone and why people often think I’m rude.

12. Easy up until the two I got wrong (which I suspect were two that most people get wrong). Am terrible with names though.

4, an unusually good result for me.

If you did really poorly on this super recogniser test, you may find this one more up your street.
