The Mooney Face Test is a widely used test of face perception, but was originally designed to be administered by personal interview. We have developed a three-alternative forced-choice version for online testing. We tested 397 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 42 (M=24 years). There was a wide range of performance (64-100% correct; M=89.6%). We observed a significant sex difference favoring males (.31 standard deviation; p =.004). In addition, independently of sex, higher 2D:4D digit ratios were significantly associated with higher scores (ρ=.14, p=.006). A genome-wide association study (GWAS) for a subset of 370 participants identified an association between Mooney performance and a polymorphism in the RAPGEF5 gene (rs1522280; p=9.68×10(-8)). This association survives a permutation test (p=.031).
穆尼面部测试是一种广泛使用的面部感知测试，但最初设计为通过个人访谈进行。我们开发了一个用于在线测试的三选一强制选择版本。我们测试了397名年龄在18至42岁之间的健康成年人（平均年龄=24岁）。表现范围很广（正确率为64%-100%；平均正确率=89.6%）。我们观察到显著的性别差异，男性更具优势（标准差为0.31；p=0.004）。此外，独立于性别之外，较高的2D:4D指比与较高的分数显著相关（ρ=0.14，p=0.006）。对370名参与者的一个子集进行的全基因组关联研究（GWAS）确定了穆尼测试表现与RAPGEF5基因中的一个多态性（rs1522280；p=9.68×10^(-8)）之间的关联。这种关联在置换检验后仍然显著（p=0.031）。
