I just took the super-recogniser test and scored 11 / 14. Does anyone else want to click on the link (from BBC website) and see if they can beat me?
You need to go onto BBC.co.uk and search for Super Recognisers. The top story has a link to take the test.

I got 10 which I was amazed about as I am normally pretty useless at this sort of test.

I was astounded to have got so many of them right, especially in view of the dreadful pictures!

I scored 8 - the later ones were definitely tricky as taken from a different angle. How do you know if their hair sticks up or down or if their nose is straight?? I am cautious about this sort of exercise, where they get a few people who happen to have scored well on a test and they then go on to trust them to be correct on a majority of future occasions...... But it is still an interesting exercise both for what it reveals about us as well as what it reveals about police methods!
