Microexpression Test

Mr. Psychologist · December 10, 2014, 04:29:27 PM

DISCLAIMER: Upon closer inspection, this test is about as inconsistent as the Tories. Soooooo yah, I wouldn't really bother with it at this point.

Got a little minigame/experiment for you tonight flood >_>

Some of you might remember this from B.next back when I could still be arsed with Psykana but I'm feeling nostalgic and I'm interested to see what sort of scores people get.

http://www.microexpressionstest.com/micro-expressions-test/

It takes about 5 minutes, probably less, and at the end you will be given a score in % and a plug to get you to sign up for their course. Lol.

But have a go, post your first result and a second result if you feel like retaking it.

Read this bit after you take the test

Where your score sits

IIRC the average score for someone who hasn't studied microexpressions at all is between 20 and 30%. They claim that an hour of their course gives you an 85% score, but ehh I remain to be convinced. I've studied this lightheartedly through reading Ekman's book on the topic (The guy who founded the field of research) and my score tends to be around 60%

Psyduck's score

58%

Final thoughts

There are a few users that I think might not do so well on this test, some of them already know why and others don't <.< It's not for the sake of going 'harhar you suck', scoring badly on this game/test doesn't mean you suck by any means >_> It just means there are some... difficulties you might have recognising these microexpressions

You've actually taken this test before e.e
Your score back then was 10% IIRC >.>

I'll say. I just retook it and two of the questions literally repeated during that run. 42%

Welp, that's a better score but... yeah... that looks like quite the decline in consistency from when I last posted this test ._____.
I better find another >.>

And I must admit, I didn't take it seriously all the way.

I got 2%. I'm honestly not surprised, I've never been any good at understanding people.

Indeed, although that is an exceptionally low score. But mind you, considering the variations in score that most people have had ITT and myself upon several retakes, the test is inconsistent as fuck lol.

Your score: 10% first go

I have to say, some of the right answers didn't seem right on their actual faces.

Don't know if that means shit.

I could send you some samples and some similar tests if you want, but I'll tell you how to find them yourself.

Go to Ekman's site, and try out the ones that have a demo. I am of course talking about the different training programs that you can buy. I recommend the most expensive one, and I'd buy if it weren't for my school work.

Go to Google apps and search for micro expressions, and you'll be able to view and rate micro-expressions in different speeds.

I'm not sure I'd quite put it on the same level as training, but it's certainly informative and entertaining >.>

It's training in the sense that lifting barrels builds muscles. Paying for the Gym is much more effective, but y'know.

4% Some were repeated also bullshit! Coughing while playing cards isn't sadness its cockyness or suprised

You got 4%, do you honestly thi- nvm, I get it.

Either study micro expressions (we can't teach you them all), or stfu.

You should be aware that it is your ignorance talking, and there are two actions to do. You ignore it, or you understand it.

The coughing wasn't the whole image, but only partial to the whole picture. Coughing is used to mask feelings. What you should've gone after was lips and upper facial muscles.

Mr. Psychologist · December 11, 2014, 03:06:25 PM

Alrighty so I should have locked this when I realised it was a crappy test lol.

I'll get a better one and repost the thread later.
