Obviously not, but see how well you can differentiate between koreans, japanese, and chinese here. Just register some bs, take the test and let me know how you did.

I did this last year, and shocked myself with something along the lines of 11/15 for people. Then my fellow Korean teachers all delighted in taking the test.......and most scored around 2/15, seriously.

I bet you still get flamed by the over-sensitive crowd haha!

I'd like to see the same test with European faces.

I've done it before. It's not a good test, as you can tell they take a lot of ambigous faces.

Yes, all Asians look like Asians.

I scored 8/18. There are a LOT of ambiguous faces. Also, after the first 5 I started to get pretty bored.

I got a 12/18... sooooo close! x_x

It got difficult near in the last 8 for me. But that was a nice 5 minutes wasted into nothing productive. Yay! ^_~

Seen this test posted a dozen times and still never got the point of it. By asking you to say whether person A is Chinese, Japanese or Korean, aren't they suggesting that Chinese people look the same, Japanese people look the same and Korean people look the same?

Isn't it more important that I can tell Min-ho from Jin-ho, than what nationality the random Asian dude walking down the street is?
