Test Your Detective Skills
Can you spot a fake smile? Most people can't. There's a great test on the BBC website that will let you see if you've got what it takes. For the record, I scored 17 out of 20. Yeah, I'm bragging. See if you can beat me. Click here.

i got 18 out of 20. i went by eyes, if they didnt change much, i figured it was fake.
16 out of 20!
Thirteen. I went mostly by how happy the eyes looked.
I got 10/20 which is an EPIC FAIL. Haha...
Btw, any new Kiki Strike #3 update?
17 aha it's harder in the beginning because you don't know what to expect. I went by eyes too.mr

19 outta 20. anonymous 6;59- Agreed!! the eyes helped a TON
i suck,
i got 11 out of 20 :(
12!
18/20.
I'm not sure this test can pinpoint any "detective skills". It's more about general empathy, IMHO.
Anonymous: Yes, the test measures empathy. But a good detective can recognize people's emotions and understand their motivations. I would imagine being able to spot a fake smile might come in handy when interviewing suspects or witnesses.
16 out of 17 ;w; It's funny since I knew that one can tell from the eyes...
Btw, isn't that a that a trick they tell models so their smiles can look more natural? XD
15 of 20...C.
15 out of 20. I looked at their eyes and eyebrows. That's a cool test.
I got 14 out of 20!
Half n half. Darn it!
*I ment 16 outta 20 XD sorry
16/20 woot woot
17 out of 20. Hehe. The giveaway is totally in the eyes. Also, whether or not someone continues smiling after they smile, or whether they just go to a poker face. I missed smiles 1, 4, and 9. :P
Fun test! Thanks for the link!

15/20--- not so good
I'm back!!!
I've missed you all so much!
I had to leave for a while, and then was afraid that I would have missed some huge experience and I would seem like I was imposing on your little party. But I got over that, so here I am.
By the way, I got seven wrong. I think I was to suspicious that they were being filmed, until I realized they could have just listened to a joke.
Welcome back, 42! Join the party . . .
and i got a 15/20
I don't know. I need to read more! But I sure HOPE it was a plane.
17 of 20 YAY
17 out of 20. Once I looked at the ones I missed again, I got it.

7 out of 20 oops!
20/20 i'm kinda surprised though...
I failed. Miserably. 11 out of 20.
17 out of 20!!! I used their eyes and sometimes the way they moved... (cause people fake smile for pictures, and they dont want to move. :)

i got 18/20 on my first try... i just got lucky...
19 out of 20
eyes are pretty reliable- if they didnt really squint up, the smile is probably fake...
but werent those faces really weird?
did they take some random person and ask them to smile?
(*+*)
