Face recognition

[Cosmic Latte]

not face blind, but it takes me awhile to notice the different features in people who look similar

I have trouble remembering names, but I'm pretty good with recognizing faces; I'm always catching actors in other, small roles, and almost instantly being like OOOHHEY I KNOW THAT PERSON; THEY WERE IN THE THING!!

I had to take a battery of tests for IQ testing in school.  One of the tests involved me looking at a lot of photos of faces and identifying which I had just been shown.

 

I scored in the bottom second percentile 😬

 

I don't have prosopagnosia, but it's definitely hard for me to remember faces.  I'm not good at names, either.  I've gotten pretty good at pretending to know people who somehow know me from somewhere.

I recognize people in real life, while some characters in a series or movie can really be hard to differenciate

It can be difficult to recognize people by their faces (in "real life" or in movies and shows), but I can often figure it out by voice or hair.

I have a very hard time remembering faces and names, IRL or with movie characters. I do better with subtitles for shows, but I constantly lose track of faces. With celebrities, too.

As I got older it became easier. I work where I can end up dealing with 100s of people a week so like faces start to become a blank to me.

I pride myself on my TV/film actor recognition.

Hard to impossible😔

I often mistake people for someone else or have trouble recognising them after they change their haircut or outfit style. Sometimes I even have no idea who I am talking to and why this person knows me
