The Twenty-item prosopagnosia index 

The Twenty-item prosopagnosia index (PI20) assesses the presence and severity of prosopagnosic traits. You can complete the PI20 below. Where individuals score 65 or more, there is a good chance that they have developmental prosopagnosia. ​

Researchers may freely use the PI20 for academic purposes. Please cite the measure as follows:

Please contact the lead author (r.cook@leeds.ac.uk) before using the PI20 for non-research applications (e.g. on media websites, in healthcare or clinical settings).   

A printable version of the PI20 is also available for free download with guidance on scoring and interpretation. pdf
