yup they aren't the typical kind. i could tell one of them was japanese by his hair. usually you could tell a korean girl from any other asian, based on their face structure and eyes. it should've been easier to tell the chinese apart because koreans and japanese look more similar to each other than to chinese. but usually i can tell the difference.
I got 9.
I recognized more chinese faces and often couldn't decide between japanese or korean.
Generally it is not that easy to tell. I always wonder why some people think they can tell where we asians are from. And then they guess all the countries they know until I tell them which.
Happens to me a lot.

I was thinking the same too, so I end up with only seven , it's easier to tell apart in real life (person), especially those they just came from their country, because you hear them talking....but it's hard to tell apart from pictures ....kotaeshiranaihito wrote:I got an unfortunate 5. I would've gotten higher, but I honestly thought the test was trying to double talk you so I chose different answers for some people who looked too obvious. What I want to know is, who got in between 16 and 18? And what was your score?

haha, i got a 4, then again i'm desi, and i've always been horrible at telling east asians apart from one another =P
i have to be able to hear them talk [like thieir accent when speaking english, cuz obviously i can tell them apart from their own language, lol] theni can usually figure out where they r from
but some of the ppl in tht quiz... i was like they looked mixed, haha =D o well i will take my 4 proudly

Not Hard At All
U people suck! I'm not even asian, i'm white and I got a score of 16. Geez I can't believe asians cant tell asians apart. It wasn't easy but it wasn't really hard. Come on people get ur eyes checked.
Come on, It's foolish. How can we really said if it's a chinese, korean or a japanese face?
I'm cantonese, and our face are quite different from nothern chinese face. Chinese people are mostly mixed, and when you said chinese, are you talking the Han people, Manchou that are many in the north of china, and korean also, without talking about the Mongol. Don't also forget that, many japanese are from china, by emigration.
Asian people are very open minded, we travel a lot and we are all mixed, more or less.
But, what was really funny, it's that they are making face, (Iol), but it's very hard in these circumstances to really see their face.

I thought it was really easy...
until i got my results - 2 out of 18!!
strange because i have no problem guessing where asian students
in my classes are from, even before i hear what language they speak.
i think a test asking where white people are from would be much harder
(for instance, i don't think anyone except dutch people have guessed that
i look dutch)

sure i guess that would be just as interesting as this "asian test", but where would you post it on this site?kotaeshiranaihito wrote:If you really want to, I can make a test like that.yieebo wrote:i took this test before, and i still failed at it lol, i only got seven correct, again! but you know what, why don't they do a similar test to see if people can tell where certain Europeans are from? i'll bet we couldn't guess where they were from either!

Japanese, Korean, and Chinese is unfair...
Japanese and Korean especially look similar in some ways due to hair and clothing styles. This test would have been more realistic if it threw in some VIETNAMESE and THAI...cant forget the South East AZNz....

Just a joke
I knew a preacher who use to tell me this joke.
"The best way to tell asians apart is the Japanese are rich looking, Chinese are proud looking, and the Koreans are the good looking."

hmm i did pretty good, 14
its VERY hard (and i guessed on a few) but it was VERY easy to tell which ones were korean....for some reason they have the same facial expressions, and japanese woman tend to have large eyes and more of a rounded face while the chinese tend to have thinner faces and smaller eyes....thats not always the case like with some of the ppl in the test....LOL..but for the most part it works.....the best way to tell though is to hear them. i can instantly tell the diff between the three languages (many ppl can) it just comes natural for us asain loving folk. my friends who dont like dramas always ask me how the hell do u tell the diff. but for the ppl like me....u know theres no explaining how. when its heard often it becomes second nature.
