spaceshipcrew Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 This experiment is designed to test whether you can spot the difference between a fake smile and a real one. Most people are surprisingly bad at spotting fake smiles. One possible explanation for this is that it may be easier for people to get along if they don't always know what others are really feeling. A must for those surviving in 'the land of smile' ! Spot the fake Smile If you score less then 50% - Go Home ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpolten Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I don't know, but for me its the eyes and body language...the eyes still smile "after" a genuine smile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maigo6 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 9 out of 20 Then again, Farangs are so good at giving false smiles, it can be very difficult to tell. With Thai people, it's easier, they're more sincere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you score less then 50% - Go Home ! You should be able to score 50% without looking at the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shriah Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The question about how optimistic or how pessimistic you are in the start was also very interesting. You correlate the result with the choice you made, I choose I am a little pessimistic and in the result I have identified more genuine smiles as fake ones ! Need to be more optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farangs can be so hard to read, so devious, don't think that because a Farang is smiling at you that he doesn't hate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eek Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Aff! I downloaded and installed flash. I even restarted my computer. Even tried ff and IE. But..still i get this msg: Anyone know whats up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 16/20 Although how do the researchers know whether the smile is faked or real? The subjects may be lying about it. Aff! I downloaded and installed flash. I even restarted my computer. Even tried ff and IE.But..still i get this msg: Anyone know whats up? I couldn't get it to work in Firefox, and I have the latest version of Flash. Could however get it to work in IE, which has an old version 9 of flash. Maybe the page was written a while ago and hasn't been updated to work with the newer versions of flash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks Katana. Actually i usually check IE when ff wont show something.

CelticBhoy Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 11. Quite a poor performance that. 55%. Reminds me of my exam scores when I was back at school . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
