Spot the fake smile (via Embruns). 18 right out of 20: can you beat that?

P.S. Well, actually, I’d rather hear of people who scored far less. Because I find it so simple… well, ok, it can be a bit hard, but I spent the whole test thinking I was answering too easily and there would be traps. And in fact, there weren’t. Since I think it’s so easy to spot, I don’t understand how people could fail.

I like, though, the explaination they give at the end (paraphrased from memory): some may fail this test because it’s easier for us to live in society if we don’t question the sincerity of people’s friendliness. I like the idea that I “chose” to see beyond the surface better than other people, because I refuse compromise and I don’t want to live in an illusion (yeah, I know, there could be a whole philosophical debate about my life here, and you think you know all about it, but we’ll get back to it—not) (okay, well, let’s say I refuse that one illusion, that of simplicity, and I prefer to live through others, that’s the way it is and it’s not so different). I like it when websites flatter me.
