Competitive tool for measuring emotions lacks diversity in expressions

Written by Marco van Hout on 15/03/2010

[note: please beware of sarcasm in this post]

At SusaGroup, we think it is very important to keep looking and researching other types of tools that are developed for measuring the emotional experience of people. Today, we were pointed towards a possible competitive tool that uses the face of a ‘famous’ actor to express emotions, where we choose to use a validated cartoon character (see PrEmo, or LEM).

We think that this competitor will prove to be no competition for our instruments, as it lacks a certain diversity in the facial expressions that are depicted…

    Again, this shows us that neutral doesn’t exist. A true master of subtlety!

    So true Pieter! I particularly like how he pulls off ‘petulant’. This is done with so much class! It takes years of (combat?) training I am sure.

    I have to be a little bit skeptical regarding the validity of this tool, since as any one who is familiar with Mr. Seagal knows, “Terrified” and “Confused” are certainly emotions he can never experience… with the possible exception of an encounter with Chuck Norris. But seriously, how likely is that to happen???
