i got a right guess :)
ez as pi
Interesting question. To those who answered correctly and who felt this was an easy test: what are the characteristics of each face that made you so sure of your answer?
first thing i got off the bat was the japanese girl based on the way the hair is poofy and skin tone.
afterwards, the most pale and "cheeky" face would be the korean.
chinese by elimination =P
Easy.
The first one I got was the Korean girl based on how pale she is and how she has a more round face with more cheek than the other two.
I got the Chinese girl based on her cheekbones and the same for the Japanese girl, but for the Japanese girl her eyes/eyebrows looked a bit different so that's how I could tell.
The Chinese girl has a less defined bone structure... A "flatter" face because of the lower cheek bones. Yet her nose has a bridge. Harsher lines on her face as well (jaw line)
The Korean Girl has the high cheek bones, but no bridge. She is paler and has even lips and a round chin.
The Japanese girl has medium facial features, but has a bigger nose bridge than the others.
The racist answer? Let's not go there. (lol I'm Korean)
Japanese I got from the mouth and eyes, this was actually the easiest to distinguish.
Korean I got because the nose and mouth, which are both thin which makes their face look longer.
Chinese was quite obvious aswell, although I got from elimination since this was the last I looked at.
Easy!
First I guess Japanese first, she has a more childlike complex. But her eyes and mouth distinguish this.
Second Korean because of her (somewhat narrow) eyes and fuller face that reminds me of Mongolians (not to mean any offense).
Third Chinese because of elimination. But they seem to have more flatter face with a more cheekbone structure.
Korean by eyes and roundness of face, Japanese by the nose. Chinese by process of elimination!
idk qhy, but i think the first one is Korean, second one is Chinese and the last one is Japanese
i had the right answer >D
Right first time (ha!) and took me about three seconds. The averaging process takes out all the 'classic types' and makes this significantly harder than it is in real life. Subjective reasons...
The Japanese composite is the most easily recognisable - slightly longer features and seems to have more tightly held muscles around the mouth. The Korean composite has higher cheekbones and a less well-defined bridge to the nose but mostly it's an unconscious recognition by familiarity.
Odd that people have picked up on the light Korean skin tone? That's not my observation.
I see mostly chinese and japanese in all three girls. NOt korean face in any of them.
