I chose to take the quiz to see how well I could read facial expressions. I clearly cannot as I received a score of 10/20. I often found myself looking at the photo and saying “that is none of the ones here” and played the close your eyes and guess game.
I don’t find the quiz to be very creditable. It was on some website that an ad to subscribe kept popping up, which led me to think they want more people to be tricked into subscribing because they believed the computer diagnosed them with being able to read someone based off 20 pictures. I did find the quiz to be interesting as it explained the answers and why they were correct, and I found some of the reasonings to be surprising.
I could obviously pick out the easy ones like happiness, sad, or anger. One I struggled with was love for instance. Everyone expresses love differently, and before the quiz I didn’t think there were certain facial expressions that showed love, but apparently there are. One that also stumped me was a person who was staring straight and sticking her tongue out. I remember looking at the choices and questioning why something like “being silly” wasn’t on there.
I could use this for my life as it helped me think about how everyone expresses things different, and you can’t assume someone is feeling a certain way based off a face they made one time.

Hi Alexis! I agree that this quiz isn’t very credible. I noticed that all the pictures were very dramatic and not how they would normally be expressed in a real situation. Along with the idea that everyone expresses feelings differently, I think that some people show a different expression then what they are feeling. This makes it hard to determine how someone is feeling just based on their facial expressions. I believe it is easier to look at the paralanguage, which is vocal cues and tone because it may be a more accurate guess of how that person is feeling. I agree with you that some of the faces were hard to tell the difference. I had a hard time with love as well because it just looked like she was smiling. Overall, you had valid points and I agree with you in what you said. I enjoyed reading your post.
