haha just confirmed what I've always know. I have a shocking memory. Fun though, thanks for posting.

Recognition score
( if you saw it )

Your score: 50%
Average score: 92%

This is a measure of your ability to remember the photos you've seen, regardless of the part in which you saw them. From all 24 photos shown in Parts 1 & 2, you recognised: 12 photo(s).    
Temporal memory score
( when you saw it )

Your score: 66%
Average score: 68%

Hey Komar, I beat you!

Recognition: 75%
Temporal: 77%

Thanks, Madelaide, for the welcome break from keywording!
Regards, David.

Hmmm
95% recognition
56% temporal
 ???
That's a huge difference!

Maybe you often recognise people, but you often can't place where you know them from  :)

That's true, especially if I see them in a different context.

My results are exactly like ShadySue's:
95% recognition
56% temporal

And I know that I have this problem. I often know that I saw someone's face before, but I don't know where I saw it. :D
Great test! Thanks Adelaide!

Recognition score
( if you saw it )
Your score: 70%
Average score: 92%


Temporal memory score
( when you saw it )
Your score: 94%
Average score: 68%

These photos were in neither section:
1 false positive

I only knew 70% of the images I had seen, but at least 94% were in the right section.

 Temporal memory score

Your score: 72%
Average score: 68%

In the section above you made 0 "false positive(s)". That is, thinking you remembered seeing the photo when you hadn't seen it before. Average false positive score is 1-3.

That was fun. I didn't claim to have seen faces that I hadn't, however I did deny having seen quite a few faces that I actually had seen  ;D

I didn't take note of my results, but I remember I had 100% in seen vs not seen.  I think I picked 3-4 from the wrong series.  I didn't take the 5min breaks.  I believe the way I played - trying to tag each image with some ethnicity or some special characteristic - help me in my results.

It isn't much different from real life. I often find people whose face is known (and they know me), but I have no idea of their names or where I know them from (unless I make some association with some facial characteristic or their behavior).  ;D

95 (23 of 24)/ 86% Temporal and I know which one I missed (I think I know?) the second from the last, that I couldn't decide if I saw it or not.

Recognizing multi-ethnic faces could throw some people more than others.

91% and 68% for me. I had one false positive. Very interesting and fun! :)
