What it measures
How this attractiveness test answers “how attractive am I?”
Asking strangers gives you opinions, and most face raters give you a number with no explanation. A repeatable answer has to come from something you can check: the geometry that is actually visible in a photo. This attractiveness test measures that geometry, prints the formula and shows every component, so you can see why you got your score.
Treat the number as a private baseline, not a verdict. The useful part is knowing which measurable features drive it and how much of it was the photo.
The scale
What your attractiveness test score means
A higher score means the landmarks in your photo sit closer to this tool’s symmetry and proportion targets. The bands below use the same thresholds as the live result.
85–89
Striking balance
Strong measured harmony with only small variation between components.
77–84
Well balanced
Above-average measured balance with one or two components that vary.
65–76
Balanced with character
A mixed geometry profile where photo conditions and single components matter more than the headline number.
Below 65
Distinctive
Further from this tool’s geometric targets. Distinctive faces often land here without being any less attractive to people.
These are bands inside this attractiveness test. They are not population percentiles.
The formula
How the attractiveness test score is calculated
Your score is a weighted sum of four geometric components. The components come from facial-aesthetics research; the exact weights are this tool’s own calibration, not a universal scientific formula.
Symmetry
35%How closely 220 paired landmarks on the left and right of your face mirror each other across a fitted midline, after the head turn is removed. Symmetry is the most studied predictor of perceived attractiveness, which is why it carries the largest weight.
Facial thirds
25%How the visible face divides vertically: upper-forehead landmark to brow, brow to nose base, nose base to chin. The reference split is 19 / 40.5 / 40.5, because the landmark model cannot see the hairline and the first band is only part of the forehead.
Facial fifths
25%How the face divides horizontally into five parts: face edge to outer eye, the eye, the gap between the eyes, the other eye and the other edge. The classical canon is five equal parts of 20%.
Golden ratio
15%How close two ratios sit to phi (1.618): estimated face length to face width, and mouth width to nose width. It has the smallest weight because two ratios describe less of a face than the symmetry and balance measures.
score = 0.35 × symmetry + 0.25 × thirds + 0.25 × fifths + 0.15 × golden ratio
The evidence
What research says about facial attractiveness
Decades of studies agree on a few things that predict how attractive observers rate a face, and on a lot that a still photo cannot show.
Well supported
- Symmetry — the most consistent predictor across studies.
- Averageness — faces close to the population mean are rated as more attractive.
- Sex-typical features — rated differently across cultures and contexts.
- Skin — clarity, texture and evenness of tone.
What a photo test misses
- Expression — a real smile changes how a face is read more than a few points of symmetry.
- Voice, posture and behaviour — major parts of attraction that no photo contains.
- Culture and era — standards of beauty are not the same everywhere.
- Familiarity and warmth — strong predictors of attraction in real life.

Limits of an attractiveness test from a photo
- The reference proportions come from classical canons and Western facial studies. Faces from other populations can sit further from them without being less attractive.
- Lighting, head angle, expression and lens distance all move the landmarks. The attractiveness test measures a photo, not your face directly.
- The score is distance from a set of geometric targets. It is not a verdict on your appearance, your worth or how other people see you.
- If a number is making you feel bad, close the tab. This is a measurement, not feedback you owe any attention to.
Better photos, steadier scores
How to take a photo for the attractiveness test
Front-facing, at eye level
A tilted camera stretches or squeezes the thirds and inflates asymmetry. Hold the lens level with your eyes.
Neutral expression
Relax your face with lips together. A smile moves the mouth, cheeks and jaw landmarks and usually lowers the symmetry score.
Hair off the face
Hair over the forehead or jaw hides landmarks. Tie it back so the whole outline of the face is visible.
Not a close selfie
A phone held close widens the nose and shrinks the edges of the face. Use the back camera at arm’s length, or ask someone to take the photo.
Soft, even light
Hard shadows shift where the model finds feature edges. Face a window so both sides are lit the same.

Questions
Attractiveness test FAQ
What is an attractiveness test?
An attractiveness test estimates how closely a face matches proportions that people tend to rate as attractive. This one is a measurement, not an opinion: it finds 478 landmarks on your photo and scores symmetry, facial thirds, facial fifths and the golden ratio from 0 to 100, using a formula printed on this page.
Is this attractiveness test free?
Yes. The attractiveness test, your 0–100 score, the four component scores and the photo check are free, with no account and no upload. If you choose to save a result, you can buy a Face Report for that result for $17.49 once. There is no subscription.
Is my photo uploaded?
Not for the free test. The face model runs inside your browser, so the photo is analysed on your own device and is not sent to our servers. If you choose to save a result, only the numbers measured from the photo are stored. A photo is uploaded only if you buy a Face Report and then agree to it, because the report creates images from your photo.
How is the score calculated?
Your score is a weighted sum of four components: symmetry 35%, facial thirds 25%, facial fifths 25% and golden ratio 15%. Each component compares measured distances on your face with a reference. The weights are this tool’s own calibration, not a universal scientific formula.
What is a good attractiveness test score?
On this scale, 77 and above means above-average measured balance, 85 and above is a strong geometry profile and 90 and above is the top band. These are bands inside this tool. They are not population percentiles and not a verdict on how people see you.
How accurate is an attractiveness test from a photo?
It is repeatable, which is different from being a full picture. The same photo always gets the same score. But head angle, lens distance, lighting and expression all move the landmarks, so the test also reports how your photo affected the result. Compare photos taken the same way.
Why is my score lower than I expected?
Usually the photo. A turned or tilted head, a smile, a wide-angle selfie taken close to the lens or uneven lighting all lower the score. Retake it at eye level, at arm’s length, with a neutral expression. The scale is also strict near the top, and it measures distance from specific geometric targets, not everything that makes a face attractive.
Does the attractiveness test work for men and women?
Yes. It runs the same geometry for everyone and does not ask for or guess your gender, age or ethnicity. Two people with the same measured balance get the same score.
Is the test biased?
The reference proportions come from classical canons and Western facial studies, which do not describe every population equally well. A face can sit further from these targets without being any less attractive. Read the score as distance from one tradition of proportion, not as a universal judgement.
Can it rate me out of 10?
The test uses 0–100 because a finer scale shows which component moved your number. Do not simply divide by ten: read the band instead. A single 1–10 rating from a stranger is an opinion, while this is a measurement of one photo.
What is in the Face Report?
The Face Report covers one saved result: an AI styling concept and six hairstyle try-ons generated on your own photo, your colour season with a palette, a ranked plan with a daily routine and a 4-week plan, and 40 measured values including symmetry by region, 20 ratios against reference ranges and your face shape. It is cosmetic and non-surgical only, saved to your account and prints as a PDF.
How does the Face Report use my photo?
After you pay, you choose a photo and confirm that it may be uploaded. A vision model reads your hair, colouring and skin, and an image model creates the styling concept and hairstyle try-ons. The photo and the images are stored privately with your report, shown only to you, and erased when you delete the result. If the report cannot be created, you are refunded automatically.
Should I use the score to choose dating or profile photos?
It is a reasonable tie-breaker between similar photos, because it rewards a level head, even light and a natural lens distance. It is not a ranking of you. Warmth and a real smile matter more to people than a few points of measured symmetry.
