Are They Faking It? *smiles*

Recommended Posts

There's a whole slew of cool little tests on BBCi's website regarding the human mind. The one that caught my eye was the test about smiles.

Can you tell if they're faking a smile or not? No sh*t, I got 17 out of 20 correct.

Here's the link for all the tests... B|

I also took the Nekker Cube Personality Experiment, guess what...it said I'm an extrovert! :o:P
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Wow! I did horrible. All the folks that looked fake were actually not.......how weird is that????:P:S



You know what else though, they do ask those "behavioral outlook" type questions. (are you pessimistic, optimistic, etc) That certainly has to have a factor.... did you lie? :P

Hint: The key is not in the smile itself. It's in everything else. ;)

There's a little "Play" button at the bottom left of the pics. You get to see them make a smile from a "blank" expression. ;)

I suck! 10 out of 20.......



Right there with ya, girl... 11 out of 20! The explanation states that has a lot to do with our personality. I'm pretty optimistic and give everyone the benefit of the doubt... I really WANT to believe they're smiling!:)

Yea, I'm a bit of a softy when it comes to giving people the benefit of the doubt. I guess some would say - gullible. :P I'm just a big `o sponge!!! :D

I tried looking at the eyes... see if there was any sparkle to the expression! Silly me, I did not catch the play function. Oh well...... :S

Exactly - the eyes don't lie - or you've got to be really good to make them lie. The two that confused me actually managed to get their eyes to crinkle a little bit around the edges but they still looked a little fake - I just gave them the benefit of the doubt. Should have went with my first intstinct.

Wierd, 18 out 20 and the two wrong were early and I wasn't sure on one of them so guessed.
