How the facial expression test works

Each question starts with a neutral face. An expression appears for half a second, then disappears. Choose the pattern you noticed from happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, disgust and contempt—or select “Not sure.”

You will see your score after all 14 questions, along with each answer and links to the relevant lessons. Review missed examples at a slower pace before trying again.

Use your score as a starting point

The result is the number of examples you recognized in this exercise. Compare your own attempts instead of treating it as a percentile or a professional assessment. There is no passing score.
