Daddy Dee Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/smiles/index.shtml Not so easy to do. I got 10 of 20 correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I was surprised that I got 15 out of 20 correct. That may be a cross-section of English society, but there were a few "interesting" types in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryC Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Only 11. On review, I thought I should have got maybe 4-5 more correct. I probably would have changed my mind on a few with another chance to see the smile again. I said "eyes" in the prelim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted January 22, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2008 I got 15 right. 4 of the 5 missed were Genuine when I accused them of being Fake. I guess that makes me an untrusting, suspicious sort of person. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 17/20, for me it was the spontaneous reaction of the persons eyes that were the most telling. While you may not be able to tell the difference, I'll tell you who can and is usually an expert at reading your facial expressions….your dog!!

oldtimer Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 12 out of 20 here. I expressed low confidence going in too. I was probably biased from the start since it was brits to begin with. One thing though, I did a lot better at judging girls smiles from guys smiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Looked ONLY at the initial picture, did NOT play the clip, and got 16 out of 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 That either tests a different skill, is lucky, or uncanny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 17 out of 20. I only buy into the facial muscle thing so far though and the test if poor because it shows them coming off of their smiles which reveals all sorts of telltales. Also no idea if they were asked to just smile or were given a joke to respond to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I wondered the same thing. It is a brit test, so not too valid with us (unless you are one of them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 That either tests a different skill, is lucky, or uncanny! Am a LE officer, so I suppose I'm just naturally suspicious when lookin' at some of them!!!....[H] If I'd played the whole clip, I would have probably done worse!!![] The ones I got wrong were evenly split, 2 fakers and 2 genuines.
