In the LW Slack an online test by the Birkbeck University of London for prosopagnosia (face blindness) was posted and some took it. The Test says that 80% is population average and below 60% means possible face-blindness (and I guess 33% means random answers). The results posted in the LW slack show an average below 70% (for 10 values) and the hypothesis was offered that the LW populace in not neuro-typical in this regard. How about verifying this?

Take test test here.

My test result (give percentage points as reported by the test in range 0..100; use 80 if you absolutely don't want to do the test):

ADDED: This test takes about 20min according to its intro and some say that it takes longer (see below).

Submitting...

I was listening to creepy music when I took this & it was pretty unsettling when the distortion set in.

I got 89% but can't vote. (I'm a lurker here; more active on the LW Slack.)
