Super recogniser?

#1 Post by Bunnylump » Mon Oct 19, 2015 11:50 pm

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? :D
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!
