Tools

Measurements you can check. Every tool here shows how it reached its answer, and says where the evidence behind it is strong and where it is not.

Scores and ratings

Several measurements combined into one number, with the formula shown.

Golden Ratio Face Calculator

Measure how close your face sits to phi, plus the proportions research actually found rated best. They are not 1.618, and the difference matters.

Jawline Test

Score your jaw definition from a photo using the gonial angle, jaw-to-cheekbone width and lower-face proportion, with the method shown in full.

PSL Score Test

Measure your facial geometry and see it translated onto the PSL scale as a range, with the method shown and the scale's real limits explained.

Facial measurements

Single proportions and angles, measured from a photo.

Canthal Tilt Calculator

Measure the angle between the inner and outer corners of each eye, and read a straight account of how little research actually exists on it.

Facial Ratios Calculator

Measure twelve facial proportions from one photo, including FWHR, midface ratio and eye spacing. Every formula and reference band is shown.

Facial Thirds Test

Measure how your face divides into upper, middle and lower thirds, and see the 1985 study that found equal thirds are the exception rather than the rule.

FWHR Calculator

Measure your facial width-to-height ratio from a photo, and read what the meta-analyses actually found about what fWHR does and does not predict.

Gonial Angle Calculator

Measure the angle at each corner of your jaw from a photo, with both sides reported separately and a straight account of the method's limits.

Shape and symmetry

What your features are, rather than how they score.

Face Symmetry Test

Score your facial symmetry out of 100 across five feature groups, measured from a photo in your browser, with the research on what symmetry predicts.

What Is My Face Shape?

Find your face shape from a photo, measured from the real outline rather than guessed, with the runner-up shape and the three ratios behind the answer.

Body and fundamentals

Measurements you take with a tape, worked out for you.

BMI Calculator

Work out your body mass index and see the WHO category it falls in, plus a straight account of what BMI measures and where it fails.

Body Fat Calculator

Estimate your body fat percentage from three tape measurements using the US Navy circumference method, with its real margin of error stated.

Shoulder-to-Waist Ratio Calculator

Work out your shoulder-to-waist ratio from two tape measurements, and see what the research on male torso shape actually found.
