You and me both.  It does seem like something that would be interesting 
to study, although I can imagine that getting the photos of "real" 
expressions would be tricky.

There's actually two papers, the initial study:

http://psych.colorado.edu/~tito/sp03/7536/Baron-Cohen_97.pdf

And the follow-up on which the actual test I linked to was based:

http://www.autismresearchcentre.com/docs/papers/2001_BCetal_adulteyes.pdf

Note: somehow the line break in the above URL actually matters, and if 
you remove it the link won't work.  If it still doesn't work, just do a 
Google search for the title:  The "Reading the Mind in the Eyes" Test 
Revised Version.

The primary author for both papers is apparently a relatively well known 
autism researcher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Baron-Cohen
