Women are Better at Recognising Faces than Men

In a study of 120 people, women were five percent more successful at identifying faces than the men. All the subjects were shown close-up photographs of anonymous faces for 20 seconds and asked to memorize them.

Scientists who carried out the research say the reason for the disparity in the figures may lie in the way each sex analysis a face.

They found that while women performed better than men, gay men and left-handed men performed better than other men.
