Face-blind

         So I recently took the face-blind test and while I am not exactly face-blind, I did not exactly do very well on the test. Most people get an 85% on the test and I got a 77% on the test. I was always bad at names, but never thought I was that bad at faces. It was interesting to see how bad I was at recognizing famous peoples' faces. When I look at the cover of magazines I feel like I always know who the person is but maybe it is just because their name is usually on the front. I think the face blind test would be more effective if it was done in person with faces that are familiar specifically to the person. Overall, I find the whole concept of face blindness to be interesting and also terrible. It would be horrible to not be able to recognize your children or other loved ones, hopefully a cure is invented for this disease that is so rarely talked about.
