Do you suffer from face blindness?

Interesting if you have 10 undistracted minutes to take a test. I did the Cambridge one...

http://www.faceblind.org/facetests/index.php

Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 49.
In other words, you got 68% correct.
On our previous version of this test, the average person with normal face recognition was able to recognize about 80% of the faces. If you correctly identified less than 65% of the faces, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.

I think I have a very good memory for faces, combined with a very bad short term memory!

I redeemed myself with the Famous Faces test.

Out of 30 faces, you correctly identified 30.
You were familiar with 30 of the people in this test.

If we exclude the ones you were unfamiliar with, you got 100% correct.

Assuming you got the same faces choice as me, you did well to identify Condaleeza Rice.
I'm afraid I put her down as Michelle Obama.
I do hope that doesn't mean I'm racist. Grinning

It was funny, some of them I could only think of character names, really had to think to get actor names, but I thought I was bad with names and faces.

is it bad I had no idea who Condaleeza Rice was? My midn went blank for a couple of the others.

I have no problem with recognising faces.  It's putting a name to them I have trouble with.
