You’re A Super Recognizer. Now What?
Are you someone who remembers a face so vividly from years ago that you can pinpoint them if they walked past you right now?
Can you tell who the celebrity is just by looking at their baby photos?
Have you tried online facial recognition tests?
You may have heard of ‘Prosopagnosia’, a condition where a person cannot recognize familiar faces, including loved ones. It’s a real condition affecting around 2% of the population.
A super-recognizer is on the other end of that spectrum. Around 1–2% of the population are super-recognizers, and I fall into that group.
I took a test this morning and aced it. I’m on the research database for several universities around the world.
Are you one too? Let me know if you are or are interested in finding out more.
