Here's an interesting test to try: The Mind in the Eyes. Can you guess how people feel just from looking at their eyes?
This is part of an ongoing study by a research team that's focused on autism and Asperger's. If you go back to their home page and try their Empathy and Systemizing Quotient tests, though, let me say up front that I'm not impressed with their face validity. That is, each of them includes questions that one could easily argue have nothing to do with what they're studying. They now have much shorter versions of the tests that are better focused, but the fact that they took these versions public doesn't reflect terribly well on them, to me, anyway.
The eye version is fun to take, though. There are a lot of sultry gazes. I sure don't encounter this many people with eye make-up in my daily life! I'm told they're developing a voice version, too.
