Can you distinguish between a fake smile and a genuine smile?

There really isn't a perfect forum for this, so I'll post it here since we've discussed tells in the context of Caro's book, Joe Navarro's book, etc.

Can you spot the fake smile?

Great link! I got 12/20 correct, I thought I would do better...

Agreed, great link.

I got 15/20. Looked back at the 5 I missed, and 2-3 of them I couldn't believe that I missed them. The other two, I could see how it was tough for me to tell. Good practice, and seeing it 'live' really brings the tells to life--I think I'll have a lot more confidence at the tables...

edited to add: I think 3 of the 5 I missed were in the first 5, and I think I was just looking at the pictures rather than playing the short clip...that's probably why I missed them [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Phil Hellmuth just took the test. He scored 21 out of 20. He saw through their souls pretty good.

17/20. All the ones I got wrong I said were fake. Guess I'm not trusting them...

15/20.

This was a little bit harder than I thought.

I found myself throughout the exersice trying to determine how they were getting people to genuinely smile. I think they were telling them a joke, and then seconds later saying "ok seriously blah blah" to get the smile to go away. So I started looking for signs of laughter such as movement of the head and/or shoulders and I think this helped me. I missed 3 out of the first 4 and then got 14/16 right once I picked up on this.
