The eyes have it.

Interesting test here which tests your ability to tell people's emotions from looking at their eyes. It's used as one of a series of tests for Aspergers and the like.

My score was not what I expected.

my score was also not what I expected: I don't tend to think of myself as good at reading emotion.

a couple of observations:
- I'm sure I got the same picture twice, illustrating 'fantasising' and 'thoughtful'
- I based my judgements on eye direction -- looking away, looking toward -- which makes me gloomy as eye contact is something I sometimes find difficult, and this test implies that I am giving off the wrong signals. (Not that this is a surprise, I do that a lot.)

I know they reused the same person with different expressions a few times. I didn't see the same expression twice, but I wasn't paying _that_ much attention.

I think they reused pictures too.

They didn't reuse pictures but they did reuse the same eyes once or twice.

ah, then I got the same woman twice with very similar expressions.
