"When someone is shouting right in your face, it’s pretty easy to tell that person is angry.

But can you tell from looking at a picture how someone is feeling? Whether they’re feeling embarrassed, rather than ashamed?

The Greater Good Science Center, part of the University of California in Berkley in the US, has put together some photos featuring models expressing different emotions.

Simply identify which emotion or expression the model is showing and see if you get the answer right."

Oh so now you don't believe in emotional intelligence? Is that because you don't have any?

Figures. Sad attempt at ad hominem in lieu of refuting the scientific argument cited.

“Our visual cortexes are wired to quickly recognize faces and then quickly subtract massive amounts of detail from them, zeroing in on their essential message: Is this person happy? Angry? Fearful? Individual faces may vary greatly, but a smirk on one is a lot like a smirk on another. Smirks are conceptual, not pictorial. Our brains are like cartoonists - and cartoonists are like our brains, simplifying and exaggerating, subordinating facial detail to abstract comic concepts.”
― Jonathan Franzen, The Discomfort Zone: A Personal History

Hhhmmm. I expected to place at least on the slight end of some informal pseudo-HFA range[*], but apparently not so much.

[*] The Anglo-American entertainment industry seems to have introduced a pseudo-HFA. Where characters like Elise Wassermann and Sheldon Cooper display Asperger like traits, but at one time or another have been declared by the production guides of the series to not really be such.

I used to think I was somewhere near asperger's syndrome but after this test I tend to think not. I tend to be insensitive at times in what I say, but that is because I'm too much in my own head and not responding to people's feelings as much. Still I guess that could be AS, but I prefer to just call it social awkwardness.

iGen teens supposedly spend 6 to 8 hours a day on average with their devices, losing out on direct social contact. Perhaps yielding the first widespread AvPD population? On the plus side, they're less likely to drink and get pregnant, with even an epidemic of virginity potentially extending into the twenties someday.

"your high in one so your going to be high in another"

huh ? thats quite a leap from positted assertive factualisation to subjective relativism.
is this psychology or philosophy ?

Aspergers is a very complex wide ranging barely grasped concept for modern science.
Considering the possible massive number of influencing complexitys and specialisations that influence the mind and thus influence behavioural variable measurements its just as much a break through to define a general range field.

as a flash-card like example to mildly simili you couold use the personality/thought constructs of highly desirable capitalist traits.
such like not caring about others so as to put profiit before other peoples feelings and wellbeing.
is that a psychopath trait or a form of aspergers ?
ironically so most push to form a conformity of functional paradigms which is purely sociopathicly alligned to modernity(in my opinion).

e.g "i love how jane never cares what other people think and does her own thing"
... "bob is such a go getter. he always gets the job done no matter what people think or say"
