Take the Psychology test - On a piece of paper (number 1 - 9), write the following emotions: anger, fear, sadness, disgust, contempt, surprise, enjoyment. Look at each picture (click the below link ) in turn for one or two seconds and write down which of these emotions you think it shows. The ability to read facial expressions is something most of us take for granted.

1. sadness The lip corners are down just a bit.
2. disgust Note the raising of the lower eyelids.
3. enjoyment The lip corners are raised just a bit.
4. anger Note the pressing and narrowing of the lips.
5. fear Note the stretched lips.
6. anger The lips look happy, but note those eyes and eyebrows.
7. surprise Note the vertical widening of the eyes.
8. contempt Note the tightening of one lip corner and a bit of a smile.
9. fear, worry Look at those forehead wrinkles. Eyebrows drawn together.

I can give you the anatomical name of the muscles involved, but that really doesn't add anything.

Oh, by the way, you only listed 7 emotions. Did you want me to identify all nine? I can come back and do that if you let me know, okay?

Can you decode these emotions?

disgust- the contraction of the muscle that wrinkles the nose and narrows the eyes. The cheeks are raised, pushing up the lower eyelids, but they eyelid muscles are relaxed rather then tensed. (2)

surprise/fear - the eyelids and eyebrows are important in differentiating between fear and surprise. The lower eyelids are tenses and the eyebrows drawn together, not just raised, as they are in surprise. (7)

enjoyment - In genuine enjoyment, the cheeks are raised and the eyebrows drawn down slightly. A broard smile pushes up the cheeks, gathers the skin under the eye, narrows the eye aperture, and even produces wrinkles (3)

fear - the most common mistake is to interpret this as a sign of disgust. It is the slightly stretched lips. Other signs of fear are raised upper eyelids and tensed lower eyelids. The configuration in the eyebrows is one of the most reliable signs of these feelings(5) (9)

sadness-the expression is shown in the drooping upper eyelids. It can also be shown in the angling upward of the inner corners of the eyebrows - the lip corners are pulled downwards a touch (1)

contempt- the tightening of one lip corner signals this set of emotions. When the tightened lip corner is combined with a bit of a smile this produces a smug, contemptuous look (8)

anger - Is a slight pressing and narrowing of the lips. This can be one of the earliest signs of anger, alerting you before matters get irreversible. Other signs are tensed eyelids, eyebrows lowered and drawn together and lips press together. This person looks happy because of her smiling lips, but the eyebrows don't fit an enjoyable emotion. This could either be an attempt to mask anger with a happy smile, a blend and enjoyment, or amusement about being perplexed or confounded. (6) (4)

My words are similar to Richard from google--hehe
