  1. I really enjoyed taking the tests for empathy. I wasn't surprised about the fake smile test or the empathy test but the eyes test I was very very surprised. I actually did very well on the eye test when I thought that I was doing horrible. The smiles I found were pretty easy to read and I think of myself as a very empathetic person and after that quiz I found out that I was above average which is about what I expected as well. The eyes though were hard to read but I guess I was able to read them better than I thought I was. Overall though I thought that the results were pretty much accurate.

  2. Well I thought the fake smile test was mildly amusing, although I didn't realize you actually had to press play to see the smiles. :) I scored really high on the empathy test and only missed one on the smile test. This surprised me because I didn't think I was that empathetic. I did not score very well on the eye test, but some of them were hard to tell and looked like they could be multiple choices. Overall . . . well I don't know how to interpret the results because they were totally opposite of what I would have thought.

  3. I found these tests very insightful into how people operate. On the empathy test I recieved a 62. This number represents how empathetic I am, which is above average and almost very high. I was very surprised at how well I did at the spot the fake smile. After 20 smiles I identified the correct smile 18 times. Previously I thought I would have only been able to identify half of them correctly. I guess this means I am good at telling when people are truly happy. Then on the meaning of the eyes test I recieved a 28. Again I was very surprised by the results. Overall I have learned that I am much better at reading feeling in people than I had originally thought.

  4. That was pretty cool. I got a 69 on empathy which was shocking to me. I knew I was nice but I didn't think I was very empathetic. On the second test with fake or genuine smiles, I scored and 18. That one was very intersting to see people's fake smiles. On the third test, I scored 31. apparently, I am very good at classifying people's mood by their eyes.

  5. I think that these tests are fairly accurate how people are in situations with empathy. I am average for the empathy quotient test and the reading eyes one. That is fairly accurate for me. I can tell when there is something wrong in emotion with someone, but I'm only okay at figuring out exactly what they are thinking. I would consider myself to be pretty good at finding the real vs fake smiles. To really smile it takes more muscles in the face, so I can tell when people are not genuine. Overall, I got 18 out of 20 right. I was only a 40 on the empathy test, which was below the female average. I was a little surpried by this. I'm pretty much the same empathy wise that I had originally thought.

  6. These tests were very interesting. On the empathy test I got a 32 which is average. I wasnt surprised because i have always thought of myself as empathetic. This test could be very big news to someone who doesnt come off as empathetic. On the smile test I got 15 out of 20 which isnt bad, but I could have done better. And the final test I got a 23 which is again average. Its not the best score but I guess it shows that i can actually tell when people are happy or hiding their true emotion. I liked taking these tests, they were fun.:)

  7. The empathy tests were pretty intersting. I was above average on empathy but I was slightly above average on telling what emotions people were feeling. Overall it was interesting but I don't think I'll be a good detective.

  8. I found these tests to be interesting but I am questioning the validity. On the empathy test I got a 37, which is average. I am not surprised by this but it makes me think that the test is very general. On the smiles test I got 12 out of 20. I thought that I would not do as well which also makes me think the tests are too easy. On the eye test I got a 21. This score is below average but I feel that I could of done better if the whole face was shown. I did not learn much about myself because I scored in the average for most tests.

  9. The results showed me that I am averagely empathetic across the board. In every test I scored a little below the average in each test. I am really not that surprised by the results i didn't expect for them to be very high.

  10. I scored 36 on the empathy test. [I oersonally thought i was slightly more empathetic, but i guess not. On the smile test I missed 5. I always guessed real when they were fake. I think that because I am more optimistic I like to think people are being them real selves when they are not. On the last test, I got 18, out of 36. I can say that I am not good at interpeting eyes without the rest of the face in tact. I guessed the happiest of all the answers, even when it was probably more of a scowl.

  11. On the empathy test I felt like my gut instinct in most of the situations would be far different from my reflective view. On the smiles test I did OK but I feel like laughter is a more genuine way to see if someone is happy. On the eyes test I found it pretty easy to see someones emotion. However, I find it curious how close some emotions are and how our brain can still comprehend them anyways.

  12. My empathy test was the only test that was easy. I scored fifty which apparently puts me above average for both males and females. I assumed I would be so that test showed no surprises sense I already knew I was empathetic. The other two tests didn't go very well. All the smiles looked the same on the test except a few that were clearly fake. The eyes were the same. They all looked the same which made me feel like I had no idea about people. The people's eyes are hard to tell without there mouths. Also on the Eye's test, I didn't no what the words meant. That might have made it easier but I only got 20 right on that one. One the fake smile, I got thirteen right. I thought that was pretty good for guessing.

  13. On the empathy test and fake smiles test I did really well. It wasn't much of a shock to me. On the empathy test I got 55, above average. On the fake smile test I got 16 out of 20. On the Mind in the eyes I did really bad. I got a 17. I guess I am not to good at telling people's mood by their eyes.

  14. I really liked these test, it shows how empathetic and insightful your really are. I scored a 51 on the empathy test, a 16 on the 'spot the fake smile,' and a 26 on the eye test. I thought it was really hard to spot the fake smiles from the real ones. The looked like they had a genuine smile at first, then looked ashamed, so it was hard to tell. The eyes were hard to tell the difference after a while because they all looked the same. But all in all, I found them really interesting and insightful.

  15. On the empathy test I got 56 which I tend to think I'm a bit more empathetic that that and on the smile test I thought I was getting all of them wrong. Well, guess what? I only got 6 wrong which was remarkable to me! And I got 28 on the eyes test and I'm pretty sure that's only because I guessed well. I had no idea what I was doing for some of them!

  16. This was a really cool activity. On the empathy test I scored a 61, wich was above average. I thought that was a pretty good score. On determining the fake smiles I scored a 15. I was actually surprised with that score. I thought it would be alot lower than that. The third test I scored a 26. It was a little difficult, but I ended up doing pretty well.

  17. The tests were very insightful, and it was interesting to see what reults I got. Though the fake/genuine smile tests was creepy, I actually got a higher score then I thought I would (17/20). On the first test, the empathetic one, the reults were about what I predicted. The last test also surprised me, as I got a higher score then I first thought. All three tests were helpful.

  18. I found that I am averagly empathetic. I scored a 47 on the first test which was the average for women. I didn't do very well on the smile test I only got 14 out of 20. THe last one I was horrible at I couldnt tell the emotions from just the eyes. I was suprised how hard it was. I was not suprised about my score on the first test though.

  19. with the empathy test, i got the result of being autistic.... Bull. i belive i am empathetic and not a 30 on the test. i did bad on the smile recognition test getting a 7, and was actually average on the eyes test, getting a 25. overall i disagree with the first test.

  20. I scored in reletivly highly in the Empathy test. For the smiles test, I didn't think that I would do very well but it turned out it wasn't that hard for me. I barely had to watch half the video before I knew which was which, and I got 20 out of 20. On the eye test, I got a 32. I found that angry and indifferent or shy were hardest to tell the difference between.

  21. For the first test I found it mostly accurate, but not fully. I may not seem like an empathetic person, but I thought I would produce a score more on the empathetic side than on the lesser side. When I tried to determine how empathetic I was by determining genuine or fake smiles, I was largely surprised by how bad I was at it. I got a score of 8 out of 20. I thought it was decent at evaluating smiles but I guess I'm awful. When evaluating the eyes, I found out that I was pretty good at it. I got a score of 26. Overall, I realize now that I am overconfident of my empathetic skills.

  22. I thought these empathy tests were very interesting. On the empathy test I scored a 30 which was just below average, which I thought I would score average. The fake smile test I got an 18 out of 20. This was much better than I thouoght. I thought it was cool to see if someone was really happy. The mood test was cool to see what someones mood was just by looking at their eyes.

  23. Intuitively, I had a notion that I was a very empathetic person. After I completed the empathy test, I scored a 48. I perceived that I was an averagely nice guy, but before I assumed that I was a super empathetic person. On the spotting fake smiles test, I scored 7 out of 20 which is very poor. This showed that I am not good at spotting apocryphal smiles. On the mind in the eyes test, I received an average score of 29. This wasn't very surprising. Its ok.

  24. On the first test I got above average. I feel that I am a pretty empathetic so these results seemed accurate. I got an 18/20 on the smile test which surprised me because I felt like I wasn't doing very well on it. I also did better than I expected on the eye test. It was probably the most difficult out of the three because it is hard to tell someone's emotion just by looking at their eyes without the rest of their face. Overall I scored relatively well on all of the tests so I feel I am a pretty empathetic person.

  25. I have always thought I was a pretty empathetic person... The tests today gave me an answer. For the really long test with all the questions, my number was 36. It is not really close to the amount a typical woman is, but I have a hard time answering questions like that. I never really know how to answer with only four different bubbles cause for most of the questions it depends on the situation for me. Except the worm one, I never cut apart worms! On the face test I feel like I said everybodies is fake. I got 16/20 right though... The man thing was really hard to tell cause it freaked me out just looking at it! For the eyes I had to rush the end but I got a 22. I had a better time telling what the women were vs. the men. The men all look the same, I needed to see the rest of their expression to be sure.

  26. With the tests, I did surprisingly bad. I thought that I was a moaterly Empathedic person. I really don't care what the enternet says, I am who I am and I don't care what an online test says. On the face reconagation,
    I did much better than I thought I would. On the eyes one, I did pretty poor. That's really all I can say about that.

  27. For the three tests that I took during class, I recieved a 43 for empathy, 15 for facial expressions and 16 for eye pictures. for the empathy test I was a little below average of the typical woman. But, regardless I took no concern in my result. For the facial expression test I would look in the eyes to determine whether the smile was real or not. Also, in the same test I looked at how much strain was on the face. The less strain, the more real it was. Lastly, for the third test I didn't do very well because I had so much trouble deciding what kind of expression it was. I think it made it hard that I was only given the eyes. So, all in general my results on the test were very upseting and just plain bad.

  28. I really enjoyed taking the empathy tests. I found that I am averagely empathitic, and somewhat good at telling what people are feeling through their smiles and eyes! I did good on each test, I thought this was pretty accurate because I think am empathatic but I feel like I'm more sympatayic.

  29. It was interseting to learn about how empathetic I am and how well I can read people. I got what I thought I would for the empathy test, but I was suprised at how bad I was at reading smiles and that I was better at reading eyes.

  30. These activities were very interesting. I would interpret my results by saying that I am some what empathetic. I scored a fifty seven on the empathy test, I could tell the difference between a fake and genuine smile (17/20), and was average for reading eyes. Reading the eyes was definitely more difficult than the smile test. I learned a lot about myself and empathy from these activities!

  31. Although I did not score very high on these tests, I feel like they are an important tool to figure out what kind of person you are. These tests also have their flaws aswell. For instance, on one test I scored very poorly and was considered unempathetic whereas on the other two I scored fairly high. Even though this is the case, they were still a fun in class activity.
