In the unfamiliar face test:
Overall, you got 58% correct
The 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.
I seem to be near borderline again....
I'm with Kristin, no way am I taking that test.
Four Weddings and a Funeral?I saw it, but I don't remember him in it. I just went to his imdb page. I remember a lot of Mr. Bean ads, and they puzzled me at the time, because they seemed to present Mr. Bean as a character I should already know.
JZ, yeah, I just plucked the name out of the atmosphere. I looked, said, "Oh, it's that guy, Mr. Bean. Rowan Atkinson! No. Wait. Rowan Martin. No, that's Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. Is it Rowan Atkinson? Oh what the hell."
Oh my, we have to do our taxes. I don't know why we wait so long every year. We're likely getting a refund. Sometimes, I hate us.
I got 89% on the familiar faces test. I'm scared to take the other one. I missed Condoleeeezzzzza Rice. I think it was because my brain froze in horror at the hideousness of the photo.
Did anyone take the car test?
Overall, you got 96% correct
The average person with normal object recognition scores about 85% on this test. Men and women score similarly on this test. If you scored less than 70% on this test, this may indicate difficulties with visual memory or object recognition.
I got two wrong. I'm somewhat annoyed I didn't get them all right.
Some of the cars were very easy. Some cars might be tricky for some, for example, the Lincoln Ton Car is very similar in profile to the Mercury Grand Marquis, as they share the same chassis .
I can only identify foreign cars, specifically expensive European cars (BMWs, Volvs, etc.). mr. flea mocks me regularly for this, and blames a snooty New England upbringing. But really, most cars look alike. To me.
Cindy is me, except instead of Ghandi I missed Maggie Thatcher Apparently I have a blocky place where British PMs should be.
A lot of new cars look alike to me. But there was enough variety (eg, some SUVs) that I did well. Now, if it had been American cars from 1957 to 1975, I would have gotten fifty billion percent right....
Zenkitty, I so very nearly got that one wrong. I kept looking at it and thinking, "I want to say Condoleeza Rice, but how the hell could a shiny glossy Secretary of State have such crappy skin and such horrible teeth? What terrible things does it say about me that I even think someone with a face like that could be Condoleeza Rice? I'm positive my hatred for the entire Administration is warping my vision of one of its prime movers and shakers, but that's going to have to be my guess if I'm being honest." I was flabbergasted that I got that one right.
Barnes and Noble wants to promote my book on a table. What does that mean?
