Some years ago, I took acting classes.
In one of the exercises, our teachers asked us to look at some 5 second movie segments and identify the emotion that the actor/actress was portraying.
It amazed me how terribly bad I was.
I was identifying the right emotions about 50% of the time.
( might actually be slightly autistic)
Over time I’ve become better on reading reactions and micro-expressions but that experience was a really eye-opening for me.
Sometimes you think you are doing things perfectly on seduction and not getting results yet you don’t even realize that your sensors are not calibrated.
Which could explain why so many newbies come here saying “I’ve tried everything and nothing works”... it’s not the tactic, it’s your calibration that needs upgrading.
So I found this quiz on the internet:
greatergood.berkeley.edu
I think it can be a fun experience for advanced guys and an eye-opening for beginners.
If you get a low score, your judgments can’t be trusted yet. You urgently need more socialization.
Extra points if you can guess without looking at the multiple options.
Have fun.

Emotional Intelligence Quiz
Facial expressions are a universal language of emotion. How well do you read other people?
