I stumbled across this interesting test that I thought I would pass on. This experiment is designed to test whether you can spot the difference between a fake smile and a real one. It was very interesting, and apparently I suck at this - I could only tell the difference between a fake and a real smile 12 times out of 20.

Let the testing commence!

14/20 that was much harder than I figured.. maybe because they're primarily British?

Ok...I am taking the test right now. more then half of these folks aren't even smiling. What do we say when that happens?

Ok...I figured it out. You know it is so hard to tell because alot of them faked giggled too. And we also don't know who they are or what they are laughing about.

This was great. I was horrible at it scoring an 11.
I guess there are a lot of fake people around me for me to score this low. Excuse, okay, I just suck.

14 out of 20, but I was going a bit too fast, and several of the ones I missed I suspected so as soon as I chose fake!
