I got 11 out of 14: 'You may be a super-recognizer'. I shall humbly offer my services to MI5 for the right price  What did you get? Have you missed your calling as a detective??

 !!!!!!! LOVE your Sense of Humor.  If MI-5 doesn't bite, then maybe the Intelligence Team at MI-6 will?!  I am excellent at recognizing audio/aural patterns, but not faces. IP: Logged |

Only 8 of them. I'm no good at the side views. I can do well frontal. Tbh I wouldn't want thst responsibility. I feel terrible when I hear stories of innocent people sent to life and death based upon bad evidence and wrongful identity based on victims who's recsll in trauma could be faulty.Tom Selleck (An Aqua Sun) starred in a 90s film An Innocent Man. http://youtu.be/gHwge8PVgYo IP: Logged |

I also got an 11. A couple towards the end I wasn't sure of. I'm always recognizing actors in various things while my partner is clueless. I'm like, "ooh ooh, you know who that is?!" and she's like "ah, no", and I'm like, I betchya it's so and so, and then we look it up and most times I'm correct. And yes, like I totally do have a Valley Girl side to me. Don't be shaming those Valley gals. IP: Logged |

Totally OMG.  Is 41 too young for that? Not sure, but I think I did better on the first half and less so on the second half, if I'm understanding your question correctly. IP: Logged |

Yeah the side ones were tricky. Well I would hope that they would base their decisions on more than just facial recognition, but it would indeed be soul-destroying to find out you've taken the liberty of an innocent person. ------------------

Another possible super-recognizer then. Who would it be in US... CIA? ------------------

Okay. Did it. Was a Good Sport--
Proved my hunch ~~ I suck at it. Faces are NOT my forte..
And NOW?? I have the embarrassing proof!!!  I did the extended version without realizing they were NOT going to show me the Score to the first part, if I backed out. Had to keep going to see my Score. 8 of 14 
32 of 50 My strength is in pattern-recognition of "sounds". {I'll skip that story.} The other was looking at flattened diagrams you fold-together (in the imagination) to identify the picture of 3D object it would make. That was FUN! Thanks Voix. ~ (opener) Pink Panther Theme Song

@Mirage, you really are a tonic at times, I appreciate you  Your scores are still pretty good though, don't write off the CIA yet Pattern-recognition of sounds... have you ever tried drumming? ------------------

Voix ~ Yeah, it's not my calling. I do solve puzzles well but those side views. Tbh I was pretty tired so I might had a cpl extra. Doubt that working for the alphabet agency is my calling. They'd see me as Mr. Bean You should look into PI work. There's someone on this thread I think would be a fantastic sleuth or agent .. several of you would excel no doubt! One reading I did, the sitter no doubt could be one. IP: Logged |
