Heather finally lands her special guest, Chryssy and Heather's friend Paula, who joins us to share and answer questions about Prosoplagnosia, AKA face blindness.

Chryssy is pretty sure she has it, and Heather is pretty sure she is a super-recognizer.

You can learn what you are in one of these awesome resources:
  • Famous Faces test.  https://www.testmybrain.org/
  • The Cambridge Super Face Memory Test. The average person who takes this test correctly identifies 57 out of 72 faces. Paula's percentile score was 9, meaning she scored higher than 9% of people who took this test.

It was such a pleasure (and quite a few laughs!!) spending time with you two. It also made me rethink how to explain faceblindness to others ... and I hope it helps people understand.
