## Abstract (arXiv)

The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of nine assessments of face processing skills. These tests have been used commonly in recent years to gauge the skills of perspective 'super-recognisers' with respect to the general population. In the literature, a person has been considered to be a 'super-recogniser' based on superior scores on one or more of these tests (cf., Noyes, Phillips & O'Toole, in press). The paper provides a supplement to a recent review of super-recognisers aimed at readers who are unfamiliar with these tests. That review provides a complete summary of the super-recongiser literature to date (2017). It also provides a theory and a set of action points directed at answering the question "What is a super-recogniser?"
