Insomnia setting in here ...

I came across this interesting test ... Being one who has trouble even being able to give a description of my loved ones ... a sister, brother, my own CHILDREN ... I found this test facinating ...

Results

Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 39.
In other words, you got 54% correct.

On our previous version of this test, the average person with normal face recognition was able to recognize about 80% of the faces. If you correctly identified less than 65% of the faces, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.

ok, so they think I might have difficulties ...heh? yeah, I knew that. Always have had. From childhood. I have no clue what causes it.
