Some people have an exceptional ability to recognize and remember faces, known as being a "super-recognizer". A recent study found that about 2% of people fall into this category. Super-recognizers scored far above average on standardized face recognition tests. They can recognize someone they briefly met, such as a customer in a store months ago, even without directly interacting with the person. One woman in the study recognized a woman she saw on the street as someone who served as her waitress five years prior in a different city. This outstanding ability to remember faces could be important in courts, as some eyewitness testimony may be considered more credible based on a person's natural capacity for facial recognition.
