Facial recognition

Suhse — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 21:11:44 GMT

Do you think you're good at remembering faces and/or details of what you see?

What kind of a witness would you make?

I had a fun, work related class this morning, and to be honest, I was pretty surprised at how poorly I did.

TRY THIS: STUDY PHOTO BELOW FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS: Then, walk away for at least 3 minutes. Come back and answer these questions:

How old is the woman?

Hair color? Eye color?

How would you describe your impression of her body type?

What was she wearing, in the photo?

Anything distinctive about her?

Where did she appear to be?

What did she appear to be doing?

Hey that's easy...she looks just like Garcia from Criminal Minds! I did OK on the questions I think, but then I was very observant because I knew there'd be a test lol

LOL, in a little bit, I'll post the answers we were given, the information that would be helpful,if we were actually needed as a witness.

I didn't do all that great

She looks like someone 'trying to appear younger" My guess would be late 40's

Bleached blonde and I can't see her eye color because of her glasses.

Body shape? I can only see her head, neck and partial shoulders.

She's wearing a green vee neck shirt.

Her dyed frizzy hair stands out along with her overly large earring in her left ear.

She appears to be in a beauty parlor? I see a red sink (?) behind her along with a throwaway cigarette lighter.

She appears to be talking to the person who took the photo.

I thought she was in front of some really, really bad knock-off handbags!

OK, here's the official description:

subject is a 45 year old caucasian female, brown eyes, streaked long blond hair. Age clues: Faint nose to mouth lines, but, overall skin appears smooth and unblemished. Heavy dark glasses can be aging, so can bright, flat colors, on many people. First age impressions are often correct, because we are unconsciously focusing on face details, skin, etc.

Body type: More difficult with a head shot, subject is small framed (note narrow shoulders and neck) and average weight(face is narrow, but not thin)

Details of note: Long streaked blond hair, overly long, wispy bangs, glasses, flamboyant earrings, bright green tee shirt.

What she's doing: Subject appears to be shopping (note handbags behind her) and may be talking to someone.

I do not see a picture.

I would make a terrible witness. Never really have paid all that much attention to what someone is wearing or any particular looks. Used to get some ""not so nice looks"" from the nose-up people when I would enter a restaurant to eat after being out in the dirt and sun and hot weather after drag racing. Those with the up turned norse probably remembered me after I left.

Well, now that's weird, the image was there???

Oh OH

I'm thinking the Mod's may have thought I had posted someone's picture, without their permission, which, I agree would be a reason to remove it.

But, that was not the case, the picture wasn't from someone in my class, it was a stock photo, from class materials.

Oh Well!
