If you never forget a face, you might be one of the 1-2% of the population with "super recognition".

These super recognisers have an uncanny knack for faces. Whereas most people can recall around 20% of the face they see, super recognisers can bring back as many as 80%.

This coupled with their ability to pick people out in crowds and line ups has led to some pretty unique job opportunities, with the Metropolitan Police reportedly using them to pick out specific faces in CCTV footage of crowds and riots. In fact, it is thought that super recognisers have been used as far back as Roman times, when they were used to pick out potential enemies in large crowds.

To check whether you have a glittering career in law enforcement ahead of you, you can test your abilities here.
