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.

I got 29 and serious blood pressure and anger management issues.

Not a single non-white face. While there was a mix of young and old men, tehre wasn't a single wrinkle around any of the female eyes, and all the eye brows were meticulously plucked. While men were defiant and decisive and hostlie, women were fantasising (twice!) and flirtatious, and frankly mostly just bland.

This experiment set-up is deeply flawed.

(Sorry, this is not directed at you, but I just clicked through 36 images of 1950s stereotype and it's made me unexpectedly and incredibly angry, so I thought I'd share the pain. ;-)

I had a similar irritation but I was mostly pleased with myself for my score so I didn't bother to comment. And now I feel guilty.

Yeah, I noticed that the images were rather stereotypical.

If it was on the website of the people that produced it I'd be tempted to email them.

I was irritated that so many of the female emotions were based on "desire". I went out of my way not to objectify women, and my score suffered.

This kind of worried me too. On a couple of them I deliberately aimed for thoughful/considering type answers and was wrong on the grounds that the makers seem to think women lookingn thoughtful are thinking of what they'd like to do to them/someone...

This annoyed me a great deal too.
