THE “READING THE MIND
IN THE EYES” TEST1

Instructions

For each set of eyes, choose which word best describes what the person in the picture is thinking or feeling.

How to Interpret Your Score

Count how many correct words you identified. A typical score is in the range 22–30. If you scored over 30 you are very accurate at decoding a person’s facial expressions around their eyes. If you scored less than 22 this indicates that you find this task quite difficult.
