I got 8.

This test was probably a lot easier prior to 1937.

Obviously the hot ones are always Korean, the smart ones Chinese and the freaky ones Japanese. Duh.

I got half right. It's kind of silly, isn't it? I mean, can you tell the differences amongst a Swede, a Pole, a Norse person and Finnish person just from photographs? It's not about race. It's about the fact that lots of people don't look all that different.

Tell me you can tell the difference between a Belgian and a French person just from a headshot. Probably not.

I only got 4 right, but those four happened to be the cutest girls in the test so I'm OK with my result.

I'd say you can tell the difference between Irish, Scottish and English people just by their face. Obviously it's not 100% but it's pretty accurate.

13. I'm surprised at all the low scores. Not that this shit matters at all, but I always thought it was fairly easy to tell the difference.

Yeah you can, it's easy. Which one has the beret? French. Which one has the waffles? Belgian.
