Take The Smile Test

Man, I suck at judging people! I got a 9 out of 20 on the BBC’s “Spot The Fake Smile” test.


Stats:

Genuine men: 4 out of 8
Genuine women: 1 out of 2
Fake men: 2 out of 5
Fake women: 2 out of 5

Does it bother anyone that they couldn’t get more than two women with genuine smiles? Nothing against all women, but those in the PR industry seem able to smile for hours on end no matter what is going on, and it can be real creepy.
