Can You Spot A Fake Smile?

[Duane Adolph]

Hi Dien,

Thanks for this test very fun and interesting.

At first I was CONSCIOUSLY trying to Analyze the facial expressions ie. looking specifically at head movement, eye squint etc. etc.

THEN partway through it, I said to myself..

."DUANE you have NO IDEA what specific facial feautres to look for, you can ONLY view the video once, and you have a lot more questions to go...so RELAX and just go with your impression"

Check out this informal result.

CONSCIOUSLY LOOKING: I got the FIRST 5 ALL WRONG! ALL! Yikes

Then After Relaxing and going based on "impression" (Unconscious mind) I got 12 out of the remaining 15 correct.

CONSCIOUSLY LOOKING: 0% correct
UNCONSCIOUSLY FEELING (impression): 80% correct

Ha! No conclusions about this...Just Interesting :->

Thanks Dien

Hi Hugh,

I could be wrong, but I think they probably asked people to give them a "fake smile", or alternatively, they tried to make them laugh (told them funny jokes? put on a funny Groucho Marx glasses and moustache? Probably something like that!) and videotaped that...

That's my guess, anyway...
