How the PSL score is worked out
The test finds 478 points on your face, levels the eye line, and takes eight ratios that PSL raters talk about. Each is scored against its ideal range, weighted into a harmony score out of 100, and mapped onto the 1–8 scale, where 4 is the average face.
- 18% weight
Symmetry
How closely the two halves of the face mirror each other: eye corners, pupils, brows, cheekbones, jaw corners, nose and mouth, measured against the midline.
- 14% weight
Canthal tilt
The angle from the inner to the outer corner of each eye. A slight upward tilt reads as alert and is what forums mean by "hunter eyes".
- 14% weight
Midface ratio
Distance between the pupils over the height from the pupils to the top of the lip. Close to 1.0 is the compact midface raters favour.
- 12% weight
FWHR
Facial width-to-height ratio: cheekbone width over the height from the brows to the upper lip. Higher reads as broader and more robust.
- 12% weight
Facial thirds
The lower third (nose base to chin) over the middle third (brows to nose base). Classical proportion keeps them about equal.
- 10% weight
Eye spacing
The distance between the pupils as a share of cheekbone width (the eye spacing ratio, ESR).
- 10% weight
Chin to philtrum
Lip line to chin over nose base to lip line. About 2 to 1 is the textbook balance; less points to a short or recessed chin.
- 10% weight
Jaw width
Width across the jaw corners as a share of cheekbone width. A wider jaw reads as stronger and more defined.
What one photo can’t see
The number is geometry only. Raters, and real people, also notice things no ratio can measure.
- 01
Skin and hair
Clear skin, a full hairline and a good haircut lift any face. The test ignores them on purpose.
- 02
Leanness
Lower body fat sharpens the jaw and cheekbones. Your ratios can shift as it changes.
- 03
Lens and angle
Phone selfies at arm’s length widen the nose and narrow the face. Stand back and zoom in a little.
- 04
Expression
A relaxed face reads truest. Smiling and raised brows move the eye, mouth and chin points.
Where the numbers sit
The PSL scale runs from 1 to 8 and is built like a bell curve: 4 is the middle, and each point above it is much rarer than the last.

Questions
What is a PSL score?
A PSL score is a rating of facial attractiveness on the 1–8 PSL scale used in looksmaxxing communities. 4 is average, 5 is a high-tier normie, 6 is Chadlite or Stacylite, 7 is Chad or Stacy and 8 is the theoretical ceiling.
What does PSL stand for?
PSL comes from the initials of three forums where the scale was used: PUAhate, SlutHate and Lookism. Today it simply names the 1–8 rating scale.
How does this PSL test work?
It runs Google’s MediaPipe face model in your browser to find 478 points on your face, measures eight ratios (symmetry, canthal tilt, midface ratio, FWHR, facial thirds, eye spacing, chin to philtrum and jaw width), scores each against its ideal range and maps the weighted total onto the 1–8 scale.
Why is 4 average and not 5?
The PSL scale was designed to be harsh. It is centred on 4, and each point above that is roughly one standard deviation, so a 5 is better looking than about 84% of people and a 6 than about 98%.
How accurate is a PSL rating from a photo?
It measures proportions consistently, so the same photo always gets the same score. It cannot see skin, hair, body fat or charisma, and lens distortion and head angle shift the ratios, so treat it as one reading of your face geometry, not a verdict.
Does the PSL test work for women?
Yes. The ratios are the same for everyone; the tier names just come in pairs (Chadlite and Stacylite, Chad and Stacy). The FWHR range rewards a broader face, which raters weight more for men.
Can I raise my PSL score?
The bone ratios change little, but how they show does. Getting leaner, better posture, a haircut that suits your face shape, good skin and a straight-on photo with a longer lens all move the reading.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The face model is downloaded to your browser and the photo is measured there. Nothing is sent to a server or stored.
