Attractiveness test
If you search for an "attractiveness test", you will find a lot of sites that scan your face and give you a score. This page explains how those work, and a different kind of test that uses real people instead.
How most online attractiveness tests work
Many tests ask you to upload one photo. A computer program measures your face and gives you a number. It is quick, and it can be fun to try.
The trouble is that a program does not always see things the way people do. It may care about the shape of your face but miss your smile, your style, or how relaxed you look.
Two photos of the same person taken a minute apart can also get very different scores. That shows how much the photo itself matters, and the photo is the part you can change.
A test that uses people instead
On The Face They See, the test is done by real people of the opposite gender. You upload 3 photos, and people rank them from best to worst. They see all 3 together, like they would on a dating app.
You can choose the age range of the people who rank you. You can also add an ethnicity preference if you want to.
Friends are usually too nice to give an honest answer. Strangers are more honest, which is why the people ranking you are people you do not know.
Why we rank instead of score
A score for one photo is hard to use. A ranking of your own photos tells you something clear: this one works better than that one. You can use the winner first on your profile and keep testing new photos against it.
It also helps you learn what works for you. If your outdoor photo keeps winning, take more photos outdoors. If your smiling photo wins, smile more in your next set.
How to take the test
Sign up and upload 3 photos. Your upload goes live after you rank 5 other sets of photos. Results come in over a few days, and you get a results card with a link you can share with friends.
There is no app to download. The site works in your browser.
You can choose the age range of the people who rank you, and you can add an ethnicity preference if you want to.
Tips before you start
Choose 3 photos that are different from each other. Try one outdoors, one close up, and one that shows your style. Your face should be easy to see in each one.
Remember that a ranking is about photos, not about your worth. It is a tool for picking pictures. Every upload is free forever, including your second, third, and every one after that. Paying is only an optional way to skip the wait. You can pay $10 once or $30 for 5 skips, and paying does not change your results.
