I am in the middle of an Open Learn course (thanks Pixiefox for always posting about these. I would not have found this if not for your 3 good things)
It is about animal psychology. (These are quick courses - it's only a 12 hour course)
I was compelled to post one of the slides, because it was about human facial expressions. It reminded me of a test that we can do to test for autism (I have not as yet - it wasn't part of my own diagnosis.)
I didn't do too badly, but also had a laugh at what I put down.
Try to think about what your answers would be without being waylaid by my answers and the real answers. I would like to have split this picture and have some sort of reveal button. But that won't work here.
My answers:
Neurotypical approved answers
I got the two basic ones right (happy/sad) but then didn't do as well as I thought I would. I still think I am right about my two types of anger
Interesting. I got "happy", "anger", and "surprised". Not without reflection, though, and not with absolute certainty. The last one, I thought was "pain" (in an emotional sense). I found it hard to label the others.
It's good that we all got the first two. The three of us (so far) all said 3 was angry.
I discussed this with my wife and she thinks it is true that I can spot the main two, but I misinterpret other ones.
