Oh, that's OK, it's almost the same score !!!!
This test is pretty hard ... When you think the person is a Korean, he/she's actually a Chinese, when you think he/she is Korean, he/she's a Japanese ... _________________

Well there are a lot of Chinese like in all big cities but most of asians come from Vietnam in my small city.
I watch there are only 31,000 Japanese living in France ( + many tourists ) and I haven't seen any Korean in France.
I created a topic in a french forum, everybody have less than 7 (except with luck), we are not very good, except for the Japanese who dye their hair.
Finally the topic was closed, because they say that the topic was stupid and racist

I scored a 12. The technique I tried to use was memory visualization. I first looked at the face, close my eyes, and then picture the person being bald. LOL!!!! I did that so that the hair and clothing wouldn't interfere with my judgement in any way.
The other thing I tried studying was the shape of the nose. When judging by the shape of the nose, I was quite accurate... I won't explain the details, for I may offend someone. If I couldn't use the nose, then I went for the eyes, and that's when my accuracy dropped.
Overall thoughts... Considering the web site and designer is based in New York (looked it up in whois), I'm assuming the photos were also of people in the New York area. All the photos seem to have been taken in the same studio, by the same photographer. Living in Hawaii, I'd say good luck in trying to determine the races of the Asians walking around here... Without going into total detail, I believe that if an Asian family living in the United States span several generations, the physical features in each generation do change, such as skin pigmentation, as well as inter-racial blending. Just walking around Waikiki, the Japanese tourists look much different from the 100-percent Japanese that live in Honolulu. And we're not just talking about clothing or hair color/style.
I actually do agree with Xavio to a certain extent... I don't think there are any "errors" in the test, such as the author mislabing a Korean as Japanese, etc. However, I do think the subjects used may be inadvertantly tainted because of the generation thing I mentioned. And that may throw off the test takers living in Asia who are used to looking at Asians living in Asia.
Of course, that's just my opinion... And I could be wrong!

AHAHAHAHAHA... Haven't tried that technique.

That's a good point. The clothing is quite deceptive and gives you a false lead...
