How a ratio is scored

Each scored measurement has a reference range, a scoring curve and a weight. The result detail shows the settings that apply to your analysis. Values outside the reference range receive scores according to that curve. Read Understanding your scores for how individual scores combine.

Some measurements draw on classical artistic proportions; others come from clinical profile analysis or FaceIQ’s own adaptations. The guides identify that distinction and link to relevant studies. A published facial measurement does not by itself validate an attractiveness score or its exact range.

Read the drawing before the number

  • Check the landmarks. Open a ratio in your report and compare its lines with the tutorial. If a point is misplaced, see checking your landmarks.
  • Check the order of division. Height ÷ width and width ÷ height move in opposite directions. Each guide spells out the calculation used in the app.
  • Keep the photo consistent. Expression, camera distance and head orientation affect measurements. See taking the right photos.
  • Read millimeters as estimates. The app assumes a 190 mm face height to scale the photograph. This does not supply a calibrated physical measurement.
