How well can you read emotions? I think I am pretty good at reading people and am intuitive to others’ moods and needs. For the most part. This quiz, however, made me reevaluate my empathetic powers, proving more a charlatan than a clairvoyant.
This New York Times blog suggests that reading literary fiction can help you become more attuned to people’s emotions and feelings. As a regular bookworm, I thought I would ace the quiz but instead walked away with a 25/36. I’m blaming the fuzziness of the photos ; )
How well did you score? Do you think you can read emotions well?

Touche! I was similarly humbled with a 23/36 score and I realized that despite my confidence in reading people’s expression and through this – “Oh! So great!” talent getting to read people themselves, I am far from achieving perfection…nevertheless the pursuit will be on!!
pursuit is definitely on!! Will try to stare more intently at people and divine what they are saying ; )
31/36. Who’s your empathetic daddy? Might be why the evaluation I took in college said I should have been a funeral director.
hahaha I didn’t know you were meant to be a funeral director. That’s some kind of amazing.
26/36.

I think I should be nervous that all the ones I got wrong were when people were being serious or suspicious…
ugh, I know! I felt like a robot after taking it. I got all the flirty ones wrong, which I suppose is telling in some way…
LOLZZZ.
You need to learn to flirt and I need to learn to be suspicious and more serious.
