Determine your emotion recognition

Recognising emotions from faces is a basic social skill: a glance at someone’s expression tells us whether they are happy, sad, afraid, or angry, and shapes how we respond. People differ reliably in how accurately they do this.

In this TestMyBrain test, you see photographs of actors of different ethnicities expressing one of four emotions, and choose the emotion shown. Put simply, it measures how accurately you read other people’s feelings from their faces.

On the following pages, you can determine your emotion recognition by completing a short task. It has to be completed in one sitting.

The results will be provided immediately after you have completed the final trial. Please note that the results you receive can only be reliable to the extent that you work attentively and without help.

This test is part of the validation study for the Quantitative Socionics Inventory. In case of any question, please write an e-mail (contact@quantitativesocionics.org) to the research team.
