Spot the faker
Posted by tomo at 12:20 PM in science . | 7 Comments
Most people are surprisingly bad at spotting fake smiles. One possible explanation for this is that it may be easier for people to get along if they don't always know what others are really feeling.How well can you spot a fake smile? It may not be that important to be able to if it is indeed the case that being ignorant allows you to better get along with fakers. Maybe in the future we will have implants which we can trigger at will to turn on a smile au naturale.

I got fifteen out of twenty also. mostly I thought some genuine smiles were fake. I only mistook one fake as real. Am I paranoid? Posted by: villageidiot at February 9, 2004 12:04 AM |

I got 17. You gotta look at their eyebrow movement and their mouths after they "stop smiling". Posted by: polamex at February 9, 2004 8:18 PM |

I thought I was all cool with my 15/20.. turns out I'm a sucker for a fake smile. I bet I don't have any real friends either. *sigh* My life is ruined. Posted by: ryan at February 9, 2004 8:27 PM |
