Just been on R4 about people good at recognising faces.

12 out of 14 for me.

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.

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

It's 'pick one', not 'pick all your relatives' 🙂

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.

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..

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

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

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?

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.

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

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 [url= https://www.faceblind.org/facetests/ ]this [/url]one more up your street.

9 here. I'm ok at remembering faces but connecting them to names is a growing problem.

10 here, but I'll admit to my attention being divided between the test and the tellybox, so I might have done a bit better without distractions.
I've always been good at faces, names... not so much.
Oddly enough, I popped into town this afternoon, just coming out of WHS and this bloke suddenly stops me, calling me by name; took me a couple of seconds to recognise him, and a couple more before his name came to me.
He was a classmate at school who I haven't seen since I left school in 1969!
