I think I used a combination of gaze/eye contact and eye shape, eg someone with very wide open eyes is probably scared or surprised, someone with narrowed eyes is concentrating/suspicious, etc.
Incidentally, my own score was 29 and none of my errors were completely implausible. This also goes a long way to explaining for me why it bothers me so much when people wear sunglasses.
I think it would be great, but might be hard to include sufficient detail to be useful to people who have difficulties. Preoccupied and guilty both involve lack of eye contact but how do you describe the other differences?
Well for those two, I think there are two possible differences. Guilty people are going to be looking down more and possibly have there eyes closed a bit more.
Possible attributes off the top of my head:
eye contact
general eye direction
direction of the face
open/closed
eyebrows
head tilt (look at number 21for a great example)
wrinkled/furrowed face
Are there any more? That's definitely enough to categorize most emotions.
A few important ones
When you think about it, it's quite telling about just how expressive our eyes are when this test expects people coming out substantially below average to still pick correctly twice as frequently as if they were just guessing.
