I actually got 8/10 on that. (one woman and one man incorrect, the woman was a murderer, and the male wasn't)
Here's the thing, face analysis is entirely subjective. Just like how AI can be trained to be biased, so do quizes like this. Had every image been a black person, chances are peoples own internal racism would make them wrong more often. As all the images are for light-skin, and mostly males, the two I got wrong looked older.
But when you frame it from a "I'm a company HR person doing hiring..." think about all the internal biases individuals have. How do white male psychopaths end up running VC companies, and such. It's one of those things that perhaps we're no better than a computer when it comes to judging if someone we interact with is really mentally fit to do an activity.
I've always been a fairly good judge of people, but that's based on their vices. People that tend to smoke, tend to be high-anxiety people, and stress out over petty things. People who talk dirty, all the time, regardless of social situation, tend to be very chaotic and don't believe rules apply to them. People who drink a lot, tend to either be very laid back or very violent, and you won't know which switch is flipped, so don't anger people when they're drinking.
At best, someone with no vices (or at least doesn't talk about them,) likely has something to hide, or is just not a personal risk taking person. This is the thing you can observe on twitter a lot, people who demand attention to themselves are narcissistic, and probably trolls.
As a technical hiring manager, the one thing I would not tolerate was lying, if somebody claimed something on the interview and couldn't back it up then they were not working for me for long
"At best, someone with no vices (or at least doesn't talk about them,) likely has something to hide"
Everyone has something to hide. You mention face analysis being open to bias, I'd say a vice-based-analysis is just as open to bias.
Some people may be happy to talk about their vices, or they may be using a fake/exaggerated personal disclosure to gain your trust.
Some people maybe be ashamed of their vices. Or maybe they've overcome it and don't want to discuss it. Or maybe they don't want to discuss it
7/10 since I'm terrible with faces. But since the expected value of random guesses would be 5/10, I'd say that's pretty bad. But as I said, me and faces, that's just to be expected.
You can not get anything worthwhile done without raising a sweat.

Right, we'd mark them all as programming language inventors.

Haven't you got the notice yet? Speculation is PROOF. Who needs flimsy and malleable things like evidence?
