Welcome to the UNSW Face Test

Try our comprehensive and free tests designed to assess your face recognition abilities. Whether you're a super-recogniser with exceptional face recognition skills or someone experiencing prosopagnosia (face blindness), our tests provide valuable insights into your face recognition ability.

If you think you are a 'super-AI-detector', then try our AI-faces demo below.

Prosopagnosia test is currently under construction and will be released later in 2026.

UNSW Face Test Examples
Think you are a super-recogniser?

Do you often recognise people that have no idea who you are? Do you recognise these pixelated people above? If so, you may be a small proportion of the population with exceptional abilities in identifying faces.

Discover if you have superior face recognition abilities. Take our challenging test to find out.

Note: This test is not mobile compatible. You will need to complete it on a desktop or laptop computer.

Think you are face-blind?

Are faces like a blur to you? Do you struggle to recognise people you've met before from their face?


Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is a cognitive disorder where the ability to recognize familiar faces, including one's own face, is impaired.


Take our test to see if you could have prosopagnosia.

Most of us are very adept at recognising the faces of people we know well — some may even able to identify the pixellated people above (the answers are: Michelle Obama, George Clooney, Ellen Degeneres).

In contrast, matching unfamiliar faces can be surprisingly challenging even when conditions are optimal. This is problematic because many important tasks rely on this very skill — for example matching a traveller to their passport, or a CCTV image to a police mugshot.

A small minority of people, however, demonstrate superior face recognition abilities for both familiar and unfamiliar faces. These individuals are classed as ‘super-recognisers.’

Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is a cognitive disorder where the ability to recognize familiar faces, including one's own face, is impaired

Common Experiences: Difficulty recognizing familiar faces, trouble following plots in movies or TV shows due to inability to recognize characters, and reliance on other cues like voice, clothing, or hairstyle

There are two main types of prosopagnosia: Acquired (due to brain damage) and Congenital (present from birth). Congenital prosopagnosia is believed to affect 2% of the population.
