Facial Expressions -Can you read them accurately?

Facial Expressions Test

Its EasY and FAST! Just go to website and there will be a "TV" screen with buttons labeled 1 thru 10 on it. Each number will reveal a different facial expression that changes for just a fraction of a second. Your task is to choose which emotion was displayed in that fraction of a second. Keep track of all your first guesses, how many you got right the first time, and if you report your results here in the next 24 hours then I will use your data in my final psychology project, and hopefully get an "A".

I think its an easy test to take, but a hard test to score perfect on! My first time I predicted I would get 50% right, and I think I got 70&, so I was happy. But I've also read Paul Ekman's book "Emotions Revealed," which helped some.

Some of you may have already figured out how to cheat on this, but if you have already done the test then you can go back and do it again, and this time push the number on your keyboard which corresponds to the face you are looking at (hold down "1" for the first picture, for example). It doesn't work to just click on the number with your mouse, you must use the keyboard for this. When you do, it will "hold" the microexpression so you can see it for a long time instead of flashing. That will tell you for sure what emotion it is, if you missed it before. But don't cheat the first time cuz it ruins the fun!

Hey, DF. I thought the same thing about number 9. And I also thought the first two or three looked like contempt. I don't know about this test, but I know of other studies that have used faces for things like this that are composites of several different expressions, so it's totally possible!

Good luck on your paper, Cipher! I hope everything goes smoothly. Big Grin Thanks for giving us these fun tests to take! Hehe. Smiler

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
