Face Recognition Ability (FRA) varies widely throughout the population. Previous research highlights a positive relationship between self-perceived and objectively measured FRA in the healthy population, suggesting that people do have insight into their FRA. Given that this relationship has not been investigated in Italian samples yet, the main aim of the present work was to develop an Italian translation of the Prosopagnosia Index-20 (PI-20), a self-report measure of FRA, to investigate the relationship between PI-20 performances and an objective assessment given by the Cambridge Face Memory Test Long Form (CFMT+) in the Italian population. A sample of 553 participants filled in the PI-20 Italian version 1 or 2 (PI-20_GE or PI-20_BA) and completed the CFMT+. Results showed a negative correlation between both versions of the Italian PI-20 and CFMT+ scores, meaning that the more self-evaluations were negative, the worse they objectively performed. The same results applied to the extreme limits of the distribution (i.e., 10% of the highest and lowest PI-20 scores). Furthermore, both age and administration order of the tests were predictor variables of CFMT+ scores. Overall, our results suggest that people possess insight, although relatively limited, into their FRA.
人脸识别能力（FRA）在人群中差异很大。先前的研究强调了健康人群中自我感知的FRA与客观测量的FRA之间的正相关关系，这表明人们确实对自己的FRA有一定的认识。鉴于尚未在意大利样本中对这种关系进行研究，本研究的主要目的是开发意大利语版的面孔失认症指数-20（PI-20），这是一种FRA的自我报告测量方法，以研究意大利人群中PI-20表现与剑桥面孔记忆测试长版（CFMT+）给出的客观评估之间的关系。553名参与者的样本填写了PI-20意大利语版本1或2（PI-20_GE或PI-20_BA）并完成了CFMT+。结果显示，意大利版PI-20的两个版本与CFMT+分数之间均呈负相关，这意味着自我评估越负面，其客观表现就越差。同样的结果也适用于分布的极端情况（即PI-20分数最高和最低的10%）。此外，年龄和测试的施测顺序都是CFMT+分数的预测变量。总体而言，我们的结果表明，人们对自己的FRA有一定的认识，尽管相对有限。
