Nice work. You seem naturally well-attuned to others' emotions--a vital skill for forming compassionate connections. You scored well above average but still have room for growth; research suggests that people can improve their emotion recognition skills with practice. So keep an eye out for our forthcoming empathy training tool, designed to boost your emotional intelligence.

Not bad if I ever need to gauge by multiple-choice the intended representation of a specific emotion by an actor in a picture.

I'll still be an inherently awkward asshat when attempting to comfort a friend who's lost a loved one. But at least I'll be able to tell that they're sad.

Not good at this one at all. Only got 12/20.

To me, this looks like embarrassment over a mistake she made, like she can't go back and fix it, thats what I see.


This one looks like interest to me, her eyes look dilated like she is thinking, I want what you are having.
Doesn't look like happiness to me - I expect happy smiling eyes to look like upside down moons and the upper lips should be tight against the cheeks if you want to convince me someone is happy smiling. This looks contrived.

This looks like contempt or arrogance to me, not pride. Pride isn't rude, and this looks like
she is trying to get back at someone. I think that test has some poor examples.
When the chin is out, and lips are tight, it looks like shes thinking "I'm not sharing what I'm thinking', which is more arrogant than proud.

I had to stop after seeing all the poorly acted faces.

I got that one wrong for the exact same reason. I also was assuming there were no repeats. There were.
