No. I would be too impatient for the second set of faces.

I suspect that artists would score much higher than non-visually-oriented people.

I scored 100/62. I'm not too surprised as I'm frequently sleep-deprived.

Face Memory Test Results
Your Score
Recognition score
( if you saw it )

Your score: 100%
Average score: 92%

This is a measure of your ability to remember the photos you've seen, regardless of the part in which you saw them. From all 24 photos shown in Parts 1 & 2, you recognised: 24 photo(s).
Temporal memory score
( when you saw it )

Your score: 75%
Average score: 68%

This is a measure of how often you recognised a photo and matched it to the correct part, instead of just remembering which ones you'd seen. From all the photos you recognised, you matched: 18 photo(s) to the correct part.

Sleep scientists say that:

* recognition memory for faces is unaffected by sleep loss. A person who has not slept for as much as 35 hours can perform as well as someone who is not sleep deprived.
* the area of the brain that controls temporal memory can be affected by prolonged sleep loss and/or ageing. So a healthy 65 year old who sleeps normally would be able to perform this test similarly to a 20 year old who has gone without sleep for 36 hours.

Hover your mouse over the ticks and crosses to see how you performed:

BFA here... 100% Recognition, 83% Temporal. I might have done better but in my ADHD-ness, I was making a holiday treat in the kitchen during the two 5 min breaks so I had other things on my mind...

In truth, I'd make a terrible witness for the same reason I'd make a terrible juror. I don't believe my eyes and waste a lot of time looking for alternative explanations for everything. Not a man of action. But if you want angels counted on pinheads, come see me.

I looked at the faces last night and forgot to go back and take the test.

I was afraid of that.

OK, today the test popped up and so I thought WTH and took it. 91 on recognition and 77 on when I saw it.

Not too bad for an old fart taking two days later?
