Can you tell which is the killer vs the computer programmer? This relates to the internet dating thread. You can't tell much from just a picture!

Wow, I'm thinking I'll have to give up on science as a result of your success! What is your non-scientific method? I only got 5/10...Some of those programmers looked scary.

I go with my first gut reaction, then I recheck the eyes and mouth for any sign of defiance or contempt.
The programmers looked very determined and focused, skills you need for that job.

I got 10/10...I worked it like msterry in that I first had a gut response, and tended to trust it unless there was obvious reason to doubt. Have probably seen them all on public television at some point, though no particular memory surfaces. I noticed some postural similarities in the programmers, the forward thrusted head in relation to the neck due to years of intense computering, for example.........uh oh.
