Are YOU a ‘super recogniser’? Take the test to see if you are one of an elite group of people who never forget a face


I didn't take the test, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm not the droid they're looking for...

One time my husband and I played pool with a guy for a couple of hours. I went to the bathroom and while I was gone the guy took his jacket off. When I got back to the table I actually introduced myself to him, because I honestly did not recognise him. I just assumed that other guy had left and Davin started a game with someone new.

Smooth.

Well, thats easy. I absolutely sucks at these things. And i'm a xoward in saying so too. I remember a time in the subway when a nice woman coimes forward, hugs and says how nice it is to see me again- She knows my name, no mistaken person but i have no clue whatsoever who she is. I mumble sometrhiong about how nice it is to see her again but i really have no clue how she knows me. This has happened more than once. I'm good with numbers but are hopeless with faces.

I don't even try to pretend any more. I just say, "I know I've met you, but I can't remember your name. In case you've forgotten mine too, I'm Jen!" That seems to work well. Because of homeschooling I meet a lot of women in about the same age range, and there are only really 3ish homeschool mom archetypes. After a while, everyone starts to blend...

Well, when we start our agency, hopefully my 11 out of 14 and your 11 out of 14 are different and then between the two of us, we will recognize all 14! and we will get awards from the city for our crime solving abilities, and we will talk to Dr. Phil and eat lunch with John Walsh.

We will be batman and robin. (You can be batman because I don't want to mess my hair up with those bat ears.)

I think Abbott and Costello might be more appropriate.
