How the face attractiveness test works

The test uses an AI model that learned from many faces people rated. It compares your photo with a large set of rated portraits and places it on a scale from 60 to 99, where 80 is the middle.

If your photo lands in the upper half, you also see a Top X% figure. Top 20% means it scored higher than 80% of the portraits it is compared with, so it is always good news.

Every score falls in one of four bands. The scale starts at 60 on purpose: a photo is not a verdict on a person, so there is no failing grade. Out of 10? Divide by ten: 84 is 8.4.

Your browser measures a few proportions of your face, such as eye size, eye spacing and jaw width, and compares each with the typical range across a broad mix of people. The three that stand out most become your highlights, and they only ever name what works on your face.

A “than most” highlight compares you with a broad mix of people, with every background, men and women counted equally. Not every face gets one, and a balanced highlight is just as good. Some groups get a “than most” highlight more often than others, which is a known limitation of comparing everyone with one mix.

Five readings describe your proportions in neutral words, like “Eye spacing: balanced”. Highlights and readings are descriptions, not scores. They do not add up to your number, and there is no right answer. Skin is never measured.

The test scores the photo, not the person. Light, head angle, expression and distance from the camera all change how a face reads, so three photos of you can get three different scores. Photos turned well to the side can read a few points higher, and the test tells you when your head is turned.

Age plays a part too: older faces tend to score a little lower.

For the steadiest score, face the camera in soft light from the front, at eye level, about an arm’s length away.

The same photo always gets the same score. Everyone gets the same scale and the same wording, you are never asked your gender, and skin tone alone does not change the score.

A score describes how one photo reads to a large group of people. How you move, sound and laugh is bigger than any photo. The score is not a measure of your worth, and it is not medical or psychological advice.
