Your PSL questions, answered.
From Chadlite and HTN to your measurements, next steps and privacy.
PSL scores & community terms
What is a PSL score?
PSL is a community facial-appearance scale from 1 to 8. Our test pairs an AttractiveNet overall score with Harmony, Dimorphism, Angularity and Miscellaneous dimensions.
What is a Chadlite vs a High Tier Normie (HTN)?
Both are community tier names. In the seven-band example on our scale page, HTN is 5–6 and Chadlite / Stacylite is 6–6.5. Chadlite is usually described as the more model-like band. Other communities use different cutoffs; these are not universal standards.
What is True Adam / True Eve?
True Adam / True Eve is a community label for the theoretical 7.75–8.0 top band in this version of the PSL scale.
Why do different PSL tests give different scores?
Sites may use different photos, models, reference windows, weights and tier boundaries. A 6 here is not guaranteed to mean a 6 elsewhere. Our formulas and mapping version are inspectable so you can understand what was calculated.
Measurements & your action plan
How are facial harmony and angularity measured?
Our Harmony group combines FWHR, eye spacing, eye–mouth distance and a mid-to-lower facial ratio. Angularity includes two projected jaw angles and both canthal tilts. These are two-dimensional geometric readings from photo landmarks.
Does this test use all four community categories?
AttractiveNet supplies the overall PSL score from a 350 × 350 RGB input prepared by your browser. Our Cloudflare service runs AttractiveNet and MediaPipe; the browser uses the returned data to calculate and display Harmony, Dimorphism, Angularity and Miscellaneous.
How is my personal action plan created?
Valid measurements pass through the same frozen, weighted feature curves as the four scores. Stable negative contributions determine priorities; a directional styling suggestion is selected only when the point range identifies the same nearby positive segment. The overview shows up to two distinct priorities, while the plan groups supported actions by hair, grooming, frames and photography.
What do the green segments on my measurement cards mean?
Green segments mark ranges with a positive contribution in the current model's frozen feature curve, not a population-wide ideal range. The marker is your photo measurement; its spread models point-placement sensitivity, not a confidence interval for lighting or pose.
Why does my measurement show a sensitivity range?
The angle range models 2-pixel placement variation at each eye corner plus the iris-reference-line variation. Smaller eyes in the working image produce a wider range. A range crossing 0° calls for checking the points; it does not establish a level angle.
Can I improve my PSL score without surgery (softmaxxing)?
Yes. Softmaxxing focuses on non-invasive, high-impact improvements: optimizing body fat percentage to reveal jawline definition, choosing hairstyles that balance face width-to-height ratio (FWHR), shaping eyebrows to frame the eye area, and mastering lighting in photography.
Why is a score or a highlight unavailable?
The overall score comes from AttractiveNet. Complete four-dimension scores require all 16 valid geometric readings. If part of the face is cropped or a reading is unavailable, the overall score and other observable measurements remain visible. Use a whole-face photo to complete the four dimensions.
Using the test & protecting your photos
Is the PSL score test free? Do I need an account?
Face analysis, your personal plan and the online report are free without login. Optional AI hairstyle and hair color generation requires an account, credits and your confirmation. Browsing styling examples is free.
Which photo gives the best measurement?
Use your own clear frontal photo, both eyes visible, even light and a relaxed, closed mouth. JPEG, PNG and WebP are supported up to 10 MB; width and height must both be at least 350 pixels. Avoid filters, tilted poses and wide-angle close-ups.
How do I start an analysis?
Upload a clear frontal photo. Measurements and available scores appear automatically in your workspace.
Where are my photos stored?
Face analysis sends prepared image pixels to our Cloudflare service, which does not persist photos or results. Your browser keeps the current session in memory. Optional AI styling sends a resized photo to fal.ai after confirmation and Generate; refreshing does not delete provider-held images.
Can I compare two photos?
Face analysis shows one photo at a time; save the current result before replacing it. In the hairstyle tool, you can compare 2–4 completed hairstyle results made from the same original photo.
