    Hey people. :slight_smile:

    Here is the link for a short test based on French neurologist Guillaume Duchenne's research on the physiology of facial expressions in the mid-19th century (the resarch had another purpuse but that's irrelevant here). This test will show you how good you are at recognizing the difference between a real smile and a fake one.

    My results are 18 out of 20.

    Enjoy and good luck! :slight_smile:

    Maybe it's your browser? Try Torch, it's awesome. You can download music from Youtube directly and many more great things. ^^ Mozilla and Chrome are really bad comparing with Torch.

    P.S. Hope you're doing fine. Post on my wall when you have time. :slight_smile:

    20/20, look at the eyes. In a real smile, they kind of crinkle at the sides

    Thank you! :slight_smile: I got 27 out of 36 on the test you recommended. It went really well actually, I'm not so good with face expressions. :thumbsup:

    A few of those were fairly easy as you can see they were kind of smiling before the video starts.

    16/20 but I had thought I was going to do terribly

    26/38 on the social intelligence one which is pretty good for someone who's really not that good at reading faces
