Can you detect the fake smile?

I got 14 of the 20 correct, but I think I had some lucky guesses. And some of those people are downright scary (see #13)!

What an interesting test! I got only 13 of 20.

I got 13/20 too. Number 13 will live in my nightmares for a long time...
Interestingly, i got better as i went along, with 8 out of the last 10 correct...

I got 8/20. Hmmm.

Well, a schizoid is not crazy [the similarity in words to 'schizophrenic' comes not from similarity in the conditions, but because they both derive from the word 'schism' or 'split'. 'Schizophrenia' literally refers to a 'split mind' (I think).]

Schizoid 'personality disorder' is characterized by satisfaction with being separate or alone, as well as some degree of emotional neutrality. I don't really like to think of anyone's mental state as being a 'disease' though I am often (usually jokingly) referred to as being something of a schizoid myself 😉.

I got 15/20, couldn't tell if #13 was a man or woman. 14 was pretty wierd too

13 for me - I read somewhere that if a smile lasts more than a few seconds it's fake, but on this test even the fakers quit smiling quickly.

wow ... 16 out of 20 correct .... I am better at this then chess.. 😏

that number 13 .. very very scary ..... 🙄

10/20 Guess I'll stick to chess then 😉

18/20.

12/20
