Emotion Kentin Test

1. Wait for the images tae load, syne stert whan ye're ready.
2. Look at the portrait. Choose the nearest o the seiven labels. Tap a button or use its nummered key.
3. Keep gaun through the set. The labels bide in the same places. There's nae speed bonus, and answers arenae shown while ye play.
4. Read the breakdown. Leavin the tab while playin ends the attempt, sae ye can stert again.

Use a clear screen, comfortable lichtin and yer usual glaisses gin ye need them. Phone and desktop hae the same portraits and scorin, but image size can affect hou easily ye see a saft expression. This visual task canna be reproduced through image descriptions for screen readers.

Accuracy is the share o portraits whaur ye selectit the expression meant. Meant matters: thir are constructed portrayals, and an expression can leuk unclear even whan its maker haed a label in mind. The categories are choices in this gemme, no a claim that aw human emotions fit intae seiven boxes.

Ilka category and intensity breakdown haes onie a few portraits. Differences atween them micht reflect the particular pictures and identities, no a lastin personal strength or weakness. Neutral is a separate category, no a low-intensity version o ilka emotion. Repeatin the wee set maks ye mair familiar wi it and lets ye practise.

Whan eneuch eligible players hae feenished this version, we shaw a below, typical or above comparison band uisin ither players' first runs o the same version, leavin oot flagged runs. Afore that, the result shaws hou mony eligible runs hae been gathered. Thir veesitors arenae a representative population sample. The band isna an emotional-intelligence or empathy score.

Schlegel and Scherer's short Geneva Emotion Recognition Test uses audiovisual portrayals wi facial, bodily and vocal cues, coverin a wider range o emotions [1]. It's a uisefu example o why emotion kentin is broader nor labelin still faces. Oor gemme uises still portraits anerly and isna the GERT-S.

Barrett and colleagues review the limits o guessin emotion fae facial movement: expressions vary atween fowk, situations and cultures, and the same movement can serve different purposes [2]. In ilka-day life, context and whit somebody tells ye matter.

Oor synthetic faces arenae the validated research stimuli. We dinna use a research face database or real photographs. We checked the portraits wi oor een for artefacts and meant expressions, but the bank and its intensity labels hae no been independently validated. Published research norms dinna apply here.
