Are you a "super-recognizer"? Take a test

August 5, 2012 3:45 PM

"Face blind" people can't recognize faces. "Super-recognizers" are the opposite. Take the "Before They Were Famous" test to find out if you're a "super-recognizer."

The way you've set up the test to be done by internet participants, was very poorly done. Wasted a lot of my time before I finally got to it. Expected more / better from CBS. But so it goes. It was an interesting test. Some of it was too obvious.

Soo, just wondering, is it old age when you know the person but can't remember the name...lol. I managed to recognize three, yay. lol

I NEVER forget a face! I think I'm a super-recognizer! I did very well on the test--a couple of them I had trouble with because I didn't remember their names, but I DID recognize their face, and where I've seen it.

What I wonder about is the idea of how like me fits in the equation of someone who recognizes a lot of people but can't put a name to them. Even the super user did the trick for the young girl from the Cosby show and then later added the name.

Why can't I take the test? It's not working. No test is showing.
