What Is a “What’s My Type?” Test?
A picture based type test starts with a choice. You see several portraits and pick the ones that catch your eye. After enough choices, the result gives you a way to describe the looks you kept coming back to.
Three tests can answer three different questions
A face rating asks how a photo of you scores. A personality questionnaire asks what you say about yourself or a partner. A face preference test asks which pictures you actually choose. Here you only see portraits from the quiz collection, so there is no selfie to upload or score.
Why the same face can land differently
People can agree about some faces and differ about others. In a 2015 study, Laura Germine and colleagues asked people to rate faces, then compared ratings from identical and fraternal twins. The researchers found that the differences in individual taste they measured were explained largely by experiences unique to each person. That study used its own stimuli and ratings.
Keep the label close to the pictures
Start with two or three favorites. Describe one visible detail that repeats, then look for a favorite that breaks the pattern. “I kept picking softly lit portraits, and I also liked that bright smile on charcoal” tells you more about your choices than a single style name alone.
Which parts of attraction are outside the test?
A still image gives you a first impression. Voice, movement, conversation and how someone treats you never enter the choices. Use the result to describe the images you picked; for other questions, you need other kinds of evidence.
