Are you a super-recogniser? The skill the police are using to hunt criminals
- a3n 11y agoI have the anti-skill. I sometimes find it difficult to recognize people I know in a small crowd. I recently went to a work function in a very small bar, got just inside the door, and was standing two feet from a co-worker already there. We were facing each other, and I couldn't see him until he called my name; about four other co-workers were standing right next to him. When he called my name they instantly came into view. I have trouble finding my own kid in a crowd. His best friend's mother might be a super-recognizer, so I just ask her where my kid is. I have asked in a conference room if someone is here, while looking right at them. But I have never mistaken anyone for a hat.
