Julia B.: 33/36 for me. Holy smokes.

Rayn: I got a score of 34/36. Interestingly enough, I’ve always struggled with eye contact.

Daniel Sv.: Rayn, can you read emotions by lips then?

Rayn: No, Daniel, but according to this quiz, I have an strong ability to “read” the emotions of others through their eyes. Personally, I’d call it more of a “feeling” than a “reading,” though.
