“I Can Read People” #psychology. The “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” test is a psychological tool designed to assess a person’s emotional intelligence, particularly their ability to recognize and interpret the emotions and mental states of others through subtle cues in the eyes. This test involves showing participants photographs of the eye region of different faces and asking them to choose the emotion or thought being expressed from a set of options. This test is closely linked to research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as individuals with ASD often experience challenges in social communication and empathy. People with autism may find it difficult to read and respond to social cues, including facial expressions, which can hinder their ability to engage in typical social interactions. Studies using the “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” test have found that individuals with ASD generally score lower than neurotypical individuals, highlighting differences in social-cognitive processing. The test provides insights into the specific ways in which autistic individuals perceive and interpret social information, contributing to a better understanding of the social difficulties associated with autism. #psychologyfacts #test

6/6, what it really tested was my vocabulary
6/6 I’m a woman but I’ve had enough friends who are surprised when I tell them I’m not diagnosed with anything that I think I should probably see a doctor. People I know but don’t open up to on the other hand are usually shocked when I tell them I wasn’t always so good at being social. I feel like I’ve spent a lot of time learning how to be normal and react properly so that might be why I’m good at this.
“Is this alarmed, shy, hostile or anxious?” This is Winston Churchill
the problem is to people who doesn't speak english as their first language, some of the words almost have similar meanings so it's hard to say between the two.
5/6 Ive delt with shitty ppl my entire life. Had to learn to read people to protect my self.
As a no English native speaker all I know is that I learned a lot of new adjectives today. Thanks for that
I got about 4 and I have autism. I heard that part of the test is how quickly you can complete it. Autistic people can guess correctly but it takes them more time.
5/6 I HAVE NOW BEEN CURED FROM MY AUTISM
Got me tested more on English Vocabulary than emotional intelligence
i missed two but since i’m in charge of grading i give myself 100%
My autism diagnosis disappeared after getting all of them right
I have autism but I’ve always felt I could read people really well. It’s mainly that I don’t understand WHY they feel that way 😂
6/6 I would like to take this moment to thank my cptsd, you've been there for me my entire childhood and adult life helping me navigate my father's narcissistic rage. Couldn't do this without u buddy!
6/6 woman diagnosed with ADHD and autism. I've always by nature been observing people to try and learn how to integrate better in society, so this was a pleasant surprise :)
"low scores are associated with autism" Me with a perfect score but diagnosed autistic: 👁️👄👁️ EDIT: yes, I also have ADHD 🥲👍
That felt like a vocabulary test.
as an artist, it’s pretty easy to detect the subtleties of the eyes. also you can get these down to one or two options with process of elimination
6/6. I have anxiety, so i tend to over analyse situations and really read into peoples expressions and body language.
"Hmm... This looks threatening... so I'm gonna choose insisting"
This is why I hate phone calls — I can’t see facial cues, the eyeball and brow placements. It makes me aware of how impoverished language becomes without the face to guide it
