I was error free on the first half, and then must have lost focus.

Axial tilt is the reason for the season.

I can't go through all those. I did the first four and got three correct.
I will note that the eyes in question #4 belonged to Ted Bundy. And then when I went on to #5, I noticed those eyes belonged to the actor Nicolas Cage and I suddenly lost interest in the quiz.
Believe it or not, the developer of this test, Simon Baron-Cohen, is a cousin to Sacha Baron Cohen, he of Ali G and Borat fame.

I remember a time, back in the late 90s, when I thought nonsense like this mattered somewhat more than I do now. Now I see well-educated people yammering about the birth control choices of their daughters, or gay marriage, and I think they are morons.
I deliberately did not try to identify the eyes because I was worried I'd recognize them. Now I'm going to look again.

32. I'd have done much better if I hadn't second-guessed myself in some of them.

I found it best to go with my first instinct. If you think too much about it you do second guess yourself.

26. And I knew about Simon Baron-Cohen (as I should, given what I do for a living anyway). I think he deliberately has taken the eyes from films/famous people. At some point I considered using this for an experiment we still haven't done (we will do it differently). I probably should read up on it. I have no idea how I got some of them "right", but, well, I'm supposedly neurotypical so I should get them right without knowing how....

think too much
an occupational hazard, sadly.

Now with fewer non sequiturs!
29. I had a harder time with the women's eyes than with the men. Even the ones I got right I had to think over. I wonder if it's because there was much more hidden by makeup and airbrushing. Or if I can "read" men better than women.
(thinks about life, laughs at that.)

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.
I did about 7 of those and got only 3 right. Feh. I've never been very good at reading just the eyes. Maybe I should get tested for Aspburgers or something.....

I've always depended more on a tactile analysis.

Smiting is not a lateral business.
I did about 12 before I lost interest/ran out of time, but I got kind of squicked because I was getting every single one right. That seemed odd to me.

What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
33. So much for my theory that I'm high-functioning autistic. I blew the women with heavy eyeliner.

The only ones I got wrong were ones where I disagreed with the response or they were too close together for be to distinguish, like bored and annoyed. Those are almost like the same emotion for me, I find it annoying to be bored and boring to be annoyed.

All creatures great and small, my ass.
33. And I too had more trouble with the women than with the men. But, I also noted that many times it wasn't the eyes, but the lines around and/or the eyebrows that I focussed on.
Clever tat.
