    Looking at the various scores in this thread, it doesn't appear to be correlated with type at all. Maybe subtype, perhaps? But I've been studying subtype so much lately, I tend to think everything is subtype.
    I would think harmonizing subtypes might do well at this. Then again, I suspect I may be a harmonizing subtype and I did lousy.

    Probably not very subtype related either.

    Does a high score on this test correlate with VI skills?

    lol that's a refreshing opinion.
    ...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

    I only got 27, which I find strange since people are always telling me I can practically "read their mind" and I am very good in person (or on the phone even) at picking up on people's emotions.

    I think part of it is it is subjective depending on how you react to an expression. For example, the ones that said "despondent" or "uninterested" etc I actually though looked sort of interestingly introverted and I would have put "confident" or "focused" for those eyes. The "friendly" eyes looked anything but friendly to me, but instead looked too foreceful ((they looked kinda Beta ST). One person's idea of "friendly" is different than another person's.

    Also some of the "hesitant" eyes just looked introverted.

    A lot of the expressions also looked a bit overdone to me, like the female "playful" or "flirting" eyes looked like some lame ad of how to attract women. I don't think most expressions are so blatant expect when done by models trying to express something so clearly.

    I guess I agree w/ what mercutio wrote on the 1st page of this thread.

    Interesting exercise. 29/36. I missed two of the questions because I didn't go with my first thought. It was easier to choose the correct answer by first looking at the pictures and then derive an impression of the image, rather than read the answers first and then try to identify which response fits. Not sure if that means anything. Probably doesn't. : )

    Accompanying chart of distribution of scores.
    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

    What was the average? Like 26.2 if I recall and the Asperger's estimate score is in like the low 20s or so.

    I gave myself to much poetic licence with the words. Really liked this test, thanks for posting.

    Some of the women with eye shadow make-up threw me off. Probably what make-up is for anyway, to draw attention to the eye and also to confuse the viewer as to what the eyes are saying thereby creating mystery.

    had to be focusing hard to be able to figure out what emotion I was mirroring. but it worked usually

    in official big5 test I'm not high on either openness or agreeableness, in similarminds big5 I score higher on openness (b/c it's not standardized for age/sex)

    23. There were just too many that could go one way or the other for me depending on knowing more about the individual. I thought some could have been different or at least were not what I think of when I saw what emotion or thought they were trying to get across. They used a lot of stereotypes and other things besides just the eyes to make a conclusion. Ex. age, male/female

    I did not use stereotypes, no. I just looked at the eyes and whatever else was visible in the pic around the eyes.

    I also got 31/36

    I knew which ones were wrong though before I clicked. I just wasn't sure about them and they were all men. I need to practice reading people's eyes.

    I'll just add that I did not follow the instructions completely. I glanced at the words as whole then chose the word that stood out to me immediately after glancing at the small images of the eyes. I didn't even pay attention to other words as individual words. If that makes sense? I did it very quickly as well, not taking time to think about my choice when I was unsure because I already knew I got it wrong. Anyone else approach it this way...

    Yeah, I guess I did. It makes sense that Fe base might be pretty damn good at this, right? Especially with strong Ni. Just sort of guessing at that. heh

    Edit: McBain did very well. He is the Fe/Ni I was referring to. His posts are gone so I am clarifying.

    Having done the test a couple more times over the years I now get them all right so my first test is the only one that matters.

    Iunno, most of the answers seemed pretty easy to intuit. I don't think it's fair to call me conceited just for that. It's not like I'm calling people idiots for not getting everything right.

    32!

    I wonder whether scores would differ if the pictures were in colour. Having the images in grayscale left out a lot of dimension to these faces. A lot of them just looked bored to me!
