If I had read my white font, I would have gotten them all. I guessed
Sadat
for
Gandhi,
but I knew it was wrong when I was guessing it. With
Blair,
I didn't have a blessed clue.
flea, that's so funny that you thought
Blair was Donny Osmond!
Ha.
Plei, did you make a guess for either of them?
Jesse, did you try the unfamiliar faces one, yet? That was much harder. Ben was talking to me and setting up something on TiVo while I was doing it, so I was a little distracted, but really it was just hard. They all looked the same after a while. The black and white photos made it worse, and some of the photos looked manipulated.
This is fucking awesome: Alanis Morrisette doing "My Humps" [link]
Heh. Plei's whitefont is mine.
Did everyone miss
Blair
? Because I did, too. Also
Jerry Seinfeld,
but that was because the picture seemed distorted, and/or gave bloaty-face effect.
Allyson--you won't know until you actually, you know, go out with the dude. It may be a polite thank you meal. He may want to date you. He may want to be friends. He may have no idea what he wants. Every time you find yourself obsessing and talking yourself down (which if your dating record is anything like mine, will be apporximately every 10 seconds), just remember that you have no idea what he is thinking and every molecule of worry you spend on it won't change a thing. Get out of your head, girl, and just go and eat.
Robin is wise (as usual). Just enjoy yourself, Allyson! (Please note: I am well aware that this is easier said than done. But Robin's right anyway.)
I got them all but
Blair
and
Rowan Atkinson.
Plei, did you make a guess for either of them?
Nope!
I don't think they were good pictures of either of 'em.
Jesse, did you try the unfamiliar faces one, yet?
Yeah, I sucked on that one -- 66% overall or something. Definitely below average.
GC, I don't know how I managed to pull
Rowan Atkinson's
name out of my arse. I know who he is mostly because everyone but me seems to know who he is. I can't recall having seen him in anything.
I re-took the unfamiliar faces test and got a much better score:
Out of 20 target faces (ones you studied in the first part of this test), you correctly identified 20.
Out of 30 nontarget faces (ones that didn't study in the first part of this test), you correctly responded that you had not seen 27 of them.
Overall, you got 94% correctThe average person with normal face recognition scores about 85% on this test. If you scored less than 75% on this test, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.
