this is really interesting
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/smiles/index.shtml
i got 14 out of 20

[Pugwash]

I managed to get 14 out of 20 too. I would have got 15 if I didn't make such a fast decision on the very first one.. Not bad. Now I know when people will make a forced smile! Gunna look around their eyes. -.-

[Jess]

I got an 18/20, so much better than what I thought I would get. I guessed on.. *cough* a few.. (a lot) of them.. but I guess I guessed right. Haha I used the word guess three times in the past two sentences. Now four times. haha. ok. anyway.

I kinda figured that you would be able to identify a fake smile through their eyes, but I wasn't exactly staring at their eyes. Number 5's smile is kinda creepy (he has a gap between his teeth) haha sporks notified me beforehand :D

These are interesting quizzes. Thanks squall

[viruskangta]

wow, i got 14 out of 20 too!~
thnx thnx 4 posting up the quiz!~ :happy:

[Sporks]

That was a really cool quiz! I got a 15/20. It was a lot better than I expected :D

Yes, I notified Jess that number 5 was shocking. And that she should be prepared. Because I wasn't. And I was shocked.

Anyway, what did you guys write for the question that asked something like, "What did you look at to figure out if the smile was genuine or fake?" I said it was the eyes.

[rikastar]

I only got 14, mostly at the questions behind, cos I managed to get the hang of it. I feel it's in the eyes too. Number 5 surprised me too! lol

[SW33T_S3NSAT10N_D3S1R3]

hmm.. I got 13/20, lowest outta everyone so far...

I guess on all of them too!! :blush:

I kinda thought that it was fake if their faces started out or ended with an unhappy look..

But I think it backfired... :laughing:

Anyways, thanx so much for the quiz squall ^.~

[xJayChoux]

I only got 12/20...:blush:

Some faces were pretty scary...:oops: I kinda looked at their eyes...

Thanks for sharing. :happy:

[sabriel]

i got 12/20 too.
the serious face after the smile thru me off. i kinda though all of them are fake on some level.
nice to know i'm being lied to somedays.
but at least i wont be able to figure it out!

[tootx]

i had the lowest --> 8 haha. i realli couldnt figure out which was fake and genuine. haha. This applies in real life too.
But i guess it's gd in some way (at least to console myself). Like sabriel had mentioned, sometimes, it'e betta not to be known that you r being cheated. heez :wink2:

[fat_penguin]

i got 16 =)
interesting stuff..

[E-Ping]

Wowwy...this is very interesting! :excited: I got 14 out of 20.I didnt really know how to differentiate between a genuine smile and a fake smile.I just sort of look at their eyes and made the decision. :laughing: It really helps!Anyway...i had lots lots of fun! :yeah:

[LiLxAmMiE]

that's pretty cool! i got 15 out of 20.. some of them were really hard to tell..:happy:

[Odium: De_Vangelis]

Wow...I never expect that I can distinguish between the two exactly. I got 15/20. Quite good. :happy: Thanks for the link, I would try to observe the key signs when somebody smiles at me.

[madison]

[michelle_chou]

[meemaw]

that was such a neat quiz!! i got 13/20..i looked at their eyes for clues..but some people were really confusing!. i did better than i thought~!

[Fontane1212]

i got 15/20
some of the people in this experiment look scary! check out the dude with long hair..u can see his fangs when he smiles.. :crazy:

[l3abystarz704]

i got 13 out of 20 correct

wow...this is harder than i thought...a smile is a smile actually i was sorta rating their smiles hahaha so i wasn't really playing it right but this is a nice little quiz...i rather not know though...-_-;

[lil~jo]

This is a great site!
Man some of the people around are scary!
Yes, and I agree....the eyes is a tell tale sign!
I got, 17/20!
woo hoo!
The secret is the eyes.... :secret: its the eyes I tell you! :angel:

[cherily]

i got 16/20 which wasnt too bad if u asked me but i was guessing part of the time. was looking at the eye wrinkles of the people who were smiling to see if it was a fake

[denise88]

person #4 really looked like renee zellweger. anyway, i got 12. i was guessing at some point coz it got really confusing.. and there was this really creepy, scary-looking person, i was trying to find out if her (or was it his?) smile was genuine or not, then i just picked fake coz she (or he) looked really freaky. however, it IS an really interesting quiz, so guys check it out.

thanks for the link! :happy:

oh and a tip for those who will take the quiz: just look at the eyes and don't focus on anything else. :wink2:

[Jay_ayumi_4eVeR]

i gt 17 out of 20... thanz fer sharing... there's also a gd explanation ^-^

[loko]

hehe, i got 10/20. i looked mostly at the eyes, but most of the smiles looked fake to me anyways....haha

[cici bebe]

michelle_chou: please don't double post =) i understand it's probably a mistake so i deleted your repeat.

[milki]

kooL link man
ah.........I'm so bad at distinguishing smilez...........>_< I got 6 out of 20!!! ack! :wacko:

[mouse]

i got 12 out of 20... some of them surprised me!! oh well this was interesting to do learned somethin from it!!! thanks!

[Kyoko]

Very interestinG!!! I got 14 out of 20~ ^^ Not too bad I guess... X3 But personally I'd prefer to think everyone's smile is true... XD

Thanks again for the quiz!!! ^^

- Kyoko

[hellokitty]

I got 14/20!!! I can't believe it! I thought I was really bad at spotting fake smiles...thought I'd get like 1/20 hehe that guy was scary...actaully all of them were scary...when they finish their smile, they just look so serious...freaky :wacko:

[Shanhaigirl]

oh my, i'm so bad at this, haha!
i got only 12 out of 20! i tried to judge by their eyes, but they all seemed genuine to me, haha!
and yes, some of ppl there were so scary, haha, that lady number 13 was really freaky!
very interesting test, thanx for sharing!

[htruc]

I got 10 out of 20. Well better than what I thought I would of gotten. I looked at the eyes. But when the video stopped their eyes would make it look fake. Some of them flicked their eyes so much that it made me think most of them were fake. It got me crazy. :wacko:

[¤ . 2 . o . o . 2 . ¤]

Lol, I'm not surprised at all that I got 7! I was really bad at it and I knew I would do bad but oh well. :tongue: I thought most of them were fake because there eyes would change just before the camera stopped so I that A LOT of them were fake. :whistle:

[shiroyume]

i got 12/20..o.O;;
i guess i suck at it then.. oh well..
yeah i hate fake=P bleh.. oh well.. yeah thanks for the quiz!=P
its a pretty kewl quiz=P

[Chadd]

wow....not bad...i got 17/20
Jess who got 18/20 is great.....can anyone beat that? Hehehehe...

[littleasian]

i can't :(

i only got 16

some of them were difficult, but i guess its pretty easy to tell. I thought the best method was to watch their cheeks, and not their eyes. if its a real smile it opens up a lot bigger than a fake smile.

interesting quiz to say the least, ill put this talent to good use in the future... :whistle:

[LPx31]

WOW. I got more that half right. lol. 13/20. I mostly looked at their eyes. I wasn't that hard. At least I got some right. lol. Thanks Squall. =) Is that fake? lol

[i mwah you]

17/20... not bad for randomly guessing at most of them.. n__n;; I didn't expect to get even half of them right.. u_u Lol. Fun stuff, thankies for the game! n__n

[LPx31]

Good job i_mwah_you. I only got 13! lol. See how bad I am at this? Okay. Tell me if this smile is fake. =) How about this? =) or this? =)

[i mwah you]

LPx31: Lol, thank you. n__n xD You're not that bad... 13's a good number! :O I guessed most of mine so it was just luck. *nodnod* If I had actually looked and put down what I kinda thought, I probably wouldn't have gotten even half right. xD So anyways, I think the first two smiles are fake, and the last one is real.. :O xP n__n
Jess: Wowiee, what a pro.. 18 right! m@dd skiLLz rit3 huRR. :O (ignore my random loserness xP)

[mein]

i've got 15/20...i expected that i'll get lower than that.. :excited:

[macdawn]

I've got 16/20... that's better than I thought it would be....
Guess I can judge a smile better than I think I can? :rolleyes:
But it is true, I tend to look at the side of the eyes to determine the truthfulness of the smile.

-MacDawn

[cystaltears]

hahaha, i got 18/20, u can tell cuz oboivusly someone is making them laugh at the back, and if they smile a bit longer it means it's real

[normal]

i onil got 12 /20 :dry:
look like i am beri bad at spotting all this smile

[.huifen.]

i got 15... a bit higher then i expected... ahaz... some of their faces can really scare people... like no. 5 he has bad lookinf teeths..!! haha lol

[juzluv]

i only got 13/20.. now i'm gonna look at da smiles pple put around me... so i can practise... :dry:

[miao~]

tis so fun... but... orh,i onli got 12/20... it was quiite difficult ya... dun u agree?

[zaizai rox]

i got 11 lol wow i think its pretty hard to tell the difference i mean i thought i was pretty good at telling the difference between a fake and real smile. just barely got half right lol

[Katie23]

I got 18/20 :) I only got the first one wrong, and the third one. From the fourth picture on, I only looked at the eyes, cause if your smile is real, your eyes smile too ;)

[jay_chou_]

I got 18/20... some of them were quite easy to tell but some I wasn't so sure... I got the 16th and 17th smiles wrong, I thought they were fake but they were actually genuine! lol but that was an interesting test.

[chingyan]

waooo.. u guys are so great!! I've just got 10 out of 20!!! is it just passed then?!!!
oh.. I better get more practice on looking at others to see if they were having a genuine smile or a FAKE one~~ ^^"

[msv]

waooo.. u guys are so great!! I've just got 10 out of 20!!! is it just passed then?!!!
... IMO, usually in the American grading system, that's not good with a 50%. I got a 14/20... humpfh, guess my skills aren't as sharp as I'd like it to be.

[13abygirl]

aiyo i only got 13 outta 20 rite! lol seroiusly, sum of da ppl l0ok scary wen dey smile... y cant dey put sum nicer l0okin ppl, like movie stars or sumdinq... or maybe clip of jay! ^-^

[judes]

i got 13 out of 20. that was actually pretty cool.
it was pretty hard to guess for some of them.

[kamui]

i'm kind of surprised i got a 14/20 coz i rushed thru alot of them... and someo f them i couldnt tell, so i had to guess ^_^

some of those ppl were very sketchy looking...

[Alias]

wow... i got 17/20

when i was doing the test, i thought i might be getting 0!!! it was so hard!!!

but mhmm..... i guess i didn't do so badly after all :happy:

thanks for the link :-)

[yingyingxxx]

Haha... this is interesting.. thanks for posting!! I only got 10/20, by the way... guess I really don't know how to spot the difference! :D

[rainbowballoon]

INTERESTIN' QUIZ. =D I got a 15 which is average I guess. The genuine smiles kind of linger after the person has smiled. -.-?

[xiezhi_renfu]

gosh.. guess i'm too stupid hhaa, i got 11/20!! and i think partially my aunt helped me or else i might have failed!!

[princessKitty]

I got 18 out of 20, the ones that I got wrong were the 4th and the 16th.

The way I can tell between fake and genuine is by looking at the creases beside their eyes.:brows:

[Erishii]

Haha, I got 11. :oops: Some of the smiles were pretty creepy-looking. XD

[zhy378]

i got 14 out of 20. not bad, didnt like it how they go back serious looking after they smile because then thats when i start doubtin if they were really smiling even for that one sec. so of them looked creepy especially the hair cuts lol.:whistle:

[ichigo fairy]

hmm.. I got 13/20, lowest outta everyone so far...
I guess on all of them too!! :blush:
I kinda thought that it was fake if their faces started out or ended with an unhappy look..
But I think it backfired... :laughing:
Anyways, thanx so much for the quiz squall ^.~


i also got 13/20! i thought that i was gonna get a lower score than that. i looked at their general faces to determine if their smiles were fake or not.

[-zhoujielunrocks]

interesting quiz. (: i got a 16/20
thought i would get a lot lower!

i think it's more on the eyes.
hahaha now i know, how to spot fake smiles! hehe.

[hellokitty]

AH! i got 9/20! lol...i'm really bad..I keep mixing up fake with genuine...ergh so hard...but it was fun...hmm...i guess looking at videos and experiencing real life is different...

[luvdamonkeex3]

haha i liked this quiz. i got 17/20.
some were obvious and for some i juss guessed =P.
thanx for sharing ^^

[jAYcHOus#1 fAN]

i got 12!! is that good? iono. im not really good at telling if its fake or not. maybe i really do wanna not know how ppl feel so its eaier to get along with ppl like that. ??

[Livlife2_fullest]

Oh man, I am so bad at this! Well, I am ashamed...only 7/20...I had no confidence in ANY of the smiles...so I just guessed fake for like 10 of them!

[Jie_Lun_Rox]

16/20. was surprised! i clicked the fake button alot of times. some of the faces were scary though. face no. 13! haha.

[hil_sky]

I got 10/20. :'( I wish I can spot fake smiles in real life. >.<

[lilazndreamer]

LOL i got 16 out of 20... that one lady reminds me slightly of chuckie.. and yay one asian girl! LOL

[rzolo]

i got 16 /20
i thought i was gonna do a whole lot worse
but i guess its purdy good
i jus used instinct i guess
i was jus guessing and jus doin what i thought cuz i thought that way
(hope that makes sense)

[xiaoting]

yay! do i have the highest score??? 18/20! =D
haha, the ones i got wrong were males. i got all the females correct though. i'm good. ^^

[yongmunyee]

I got 13 out of 20 correct ! Haha!
It's so low....

[Sukai]

lol.. 8 out of 20 hahahahaha

I guess I can't tell who's smiling for real huh :)

[tazhs]

i've got 15 out of 20 correct!! i didnt know i would do that as well as i did!!
lol. some of em are pretty tricky to differenciate!

[jocsim]

Woots... i got 13 out of 20. I thought i'm kind of sucks at distinguish whis is the fake and which is genuine smile, but surprisingly, i can at some.

[v3xed]

gosh, i sucked xD only got 12/20 i tried to see their reactions at the end, but it was hard to tell from that..I tried eyes, but I couldn't see a difference XD

[HangPHAMee]

I got 17 out of 20 ^_^ It was a little hard to tell especially since they were like all told to smile on purpose or something

[Foolish_Devil]

whoa! surprisingly, i got 16/20. i guess for most of them..

[xiao|mei]

HA. I'm awesome...20/20! XD

Here's the secret....

A genuine smile will cause creases/wrinkles around the eyes.
I've got a fake smile plastered on just about every picture I take.

[Foolish_Devil]

^ whoa! you're good..
i should have known that before taken the test..

[JenEm]

I've got 16/20
this game was pretty hard but the more you've seen the better you can differentiate it I guess?!

[xiao|mei]

^ whoa! you're good..
i should have known that before taken the test..

It's definitely easier since it's video....but who knows how many fake smiles you get in real life when you're not looking for it.

[Marshymallowx33]

I got 11/20. :sweat: I don't really know how to tell the differnce though. :happy: It was very nice, thanks for sharing!:wink2:

[Shirlz]

its interesting but hard!

6 out of 20! HAHA... man that is sooo bad...

[Darkshrimp]

i'm here to break the record~! i got 4 out of 20~! yay :D

[jaychou_21]

^ LOL Andu.

I got 17 out of 20 correct, OMG! :excited:

I can't believe myself! I just followed my instincts. I think I should do that more often.

I got the Asian girl's smile wrong, the guy before her, and the second to the last.

And btw, I was smiling genuinely all throughout the test. =)

[Petom JJ]

uh uh i got 14/20, not bad eh? :rolleyes: though i feel like all of them are fake all the way (LOL do i have a suspicious mind? hehe :brows:)

interesting test, thanks so much for sharing! the info is indeed very useful :wink2:

[Pao-Pao]

So fun!!! I got 17 correct!! hehe

You can actually tell who's faking the smile by looking at their eyes!!!!

[josh_yth]

I suck at this game...only got 12 out of 20, they all looked so fake to me XD

[thungster]

that was so fun :D i got 19/20, so much better than i thought i would get!

[alisadorsey@yahoo.co]

Wow! I got Spot The Fake Smile
Results
You got 14 out of 20 correct

Interesting I guess you never really know.

[Qinghe]

I got 11/12. That's pretty low. I guess that's to be expected though. I try to avoid eye contact, so I'm not good at telling what people are thinking. Although, I can usually tell that cashiers at certain places smile, but it's so fake. Did you notice how the eyes tend to move or blink or something for the genuine ones? The cheeks also lit up. Usually if the eyes don't move, it's like they're not really smiling for real....I noticed. What'd you guys think?

[lolazoi]

haha
i got 14
staring so intensely at random ppl's faces creeped me out
XD
this was interesting lmaoo

[ask4more_jay]

woohoo! i got 18/20! :D
im good at reading people.. YES! :)
fun quiz hehe
made me laugh! :D
