Testing for face blindness, also known as prosopagnosia, often involves specific assessments designed to evaluate facial recognition abilities. While not definitively diagnostic, certain tests can indicate potential face blindness.
Here's how physicians may test for face blindness:
-
Formal Tests:
- Benton Facial Recognition Test (BFRT): This test is used by physicians to evaluate potential face blindness.
- Warrington Recognition Memory of Faces (RMF): Another test used to evaluate face blindness.
Note: According to the reference, scores on these tests may not be entirely reliable in diagnosing face blindness outright (22-Aug-2017).
