Liar Liar...

It seems that every time I take one of these microexpressions tests, I get progressively worse.  I got 8 out of 10 the first time I took it, 7 out of 10 the second time, and 5 out of 10 the third time.  I had taken the test back when I started watching the show Lie to Me.  Though I only got through the first season, it was a pretty good show.  It was such a new and interesting concept for a show that it got me hooked for a while.  I feel like it would be a good social skill to have to be able to read expressions well.  You can work much easier with people if you know what they are feeling.  But it could also ruin personal relationships, as I've seen on the show.  Because of the main guy's ability to read expressions, he can always tell what his family is feeling.  While this can be good, it can also be invasive to someone's privacy and would really bother someone who is trying to hide their emotions.  Some people just want to think to themselves and don't want someone asking them what's wrong.  I'm pretty good at reading expression with those that I know well, but not so much with strangers.
