Face recognition test.

[jackie j]

93% and 75% I thought some were the same people but with different hairstyles.

[Sheepish]

95% and 73% with 2 false positives, which was rather better than I expected.

[Glutton4...]

93% and 75% I thought some were the same people but with different hairstyles.

I wondered that about a couple too JJ!

(If you try again, you get the same pics, but in a different order.)

[vicky]

100% and 75%, but I can't ever put names to faces!

[dexterdoglancashire]

100% and 75% which for me, im quite pleased with

[its hilly]

I got 100% on both bits....
I'm great with faces, but can't do names at all (or where I put my flamin car keys down)
I've always had good visual memory, learn better from looking than listening.

[greengas]

92% and 68% whatever that means

[Rabidbun]

92% and 68%, though it wasn't a true test imo due to the situational aspect to most of the photos rather than them being mug shots.

I am lousy at recognising faces that change in any way. Basically means that, if someone I know only casually, changes hairstyle or turns up somewhere new where I do not expect to see them then I won't recognise them. Only slightly awkward! Once I get to know them though I get better at this (though it has still been known to throw me of there's a hairstyle change if I am not expecting to see someone). Teaching was... interesting... with this problem!

[rogesse]

Got all the photos right but not in which section (87%) then I read the bit about lack of sleep so I'm sticking to that excuse!

[maytreefrannie]

83% for recognising faces I saw
60% for placing them in the right part (1 or 2)
Only one wrong in the faces 'never before seen'

Good fun

I got 100% and 93% I'm quite good at recognising faces and I'm also known for remembering names. I'm an Estate Agent so it goes down very well I also did party plan for 7 years and people love it if you remember their names. It got me quite alot of business I have to say.
A very good tip if you want to remember names is when they introduce themselves to you repeat their name back to them (i.e Hi I'm Steve. Hello Steve how are you. Do you come here often Steve etc) and use it several times in a conversation and then when you next see that person the name should come back to you. It has failed me on a few occasions but not many!
