1/18 must be some new low. Inverse genius it told me.

#12I got 6/18 for the faces ("Obviously, very bad.") I thought I would get at least 50%. Interestingly, of the ones I felt very sure about, I did much better (got about 4 out of those 6).
I'm not sure it's bad at all. China has around 1.5 billion people and officially recognizes 55 ethnicities.
Some of them look more like non Chinese people than like I he Chinese ethnicities.

What’s really wild to me is having spent time in both Mexico and Thailand, I have seen some people in Mexico that could have a twin in Thailand. That was really unexpected.

#14Am asian myself, got 6/18 too. CJK people actually do look very similar anyway, which is not surprising as there are a lot of shared genetics. The way people tell them apart is going to be mostly based on current popular fashion, which is quite difficult to do with these bust shots and what I'm guessing are older pictures

>are older pictures
I am pretty sure it's 20+ years old. Just based on when I remember taking it.

#18I got 12/18 on faces as an American-born Caucasian living in Japan for over 10 years. Since the subjects were photographed in New York City (and from the other comments, at least a decade ago), cues from fashion and makeup only helped me get about 4 of them, another 6 had pretty strong ethnic features. Of the remaining 8, it was a bit of a tossup and I did worse than guessing, getting only 2 correct.
13/18 on food. Even with a lot of the same general types of food, the presentation and specific ingredients made a lot of them somewhat simple. I got tripped up on a few, though, where I overthought it ("a Japanese X is usually not like this") or ones where it was really a tossup for me between Chinese and Korean since I'm less familiar with those foods.

Obviously, random chance... It's a bit ignorant/racist to expect people from different countries to look distinctly different (fashion notwithstanding), when genetics are so overlapping
My recollection is that this website says that a 50% score is bad when the expected value of random chance of picking the correct option among 3 is 1/3. A 50% average score means there is some signal there. If it was impossible to guess, the average score should be 33%
