Attractiveness Scale 1–10
What does a 6 look like, and how rare is a 9? Here is the attractiveness scale from 1 to 10, level by level, and a free test that places you on it from one selfie. Your score comes from eight measured proportions drawn on your face, so you see exactly why you landed where you did and which readings would move you up.

How it is measured
How the scale is scored
Hotness scales on forums are guesses. This one is measured: AI maps 478 points on your face and checks eight proportions people respond to, from symmetry and facial thirds to face width, midface ratio, eye tilt and jaw. Each one is scored against its reference band, weighted and added into one number from 1 to 10. The same photo always gets the same score.
- Symmetry
- How closely the left and right halves match.
- Thirds and golden ratio
- How the forehead, midface and lower face divide the height.
- Width to height
- fWHR and midface ratio, the shape of the face.
- Eyes and jaw
- Canthal tilt, eye spacing, jaw angle and width.
Measure it yourself
Get your real place on the scale
- 1Face the camera straight on with eyes level, at arm's length or further.
- 2Use soft light from the front, no filters or beauty mode.
- 3Keep a relaxed, closed mouth and your hair off your forehead.
- 4Retake once and compare: a better photo often moves you half a point.

What's normal
The attractiveness scale, level by level
Most straight-on photos land between 6 and 8. This is how each level reads:
- 9 – 10
- Level: Exceptional: model-level proportions
- How common: Very rare
- 8 – 8.9
- Level: Very attractive: nearly every reading in band
- How common: Uncommon
- 7 – 7.9
- Level: Attractive: clearly above average
- How common: Common
- 6 – 6.9
- Level: Average to above average
- How common: Most people
- 5 – 5.9
- Level: Average: a few readings outside
- How common: Common
- Under 5
- Level: Several readings outside their bands
- How common: Often the photo
The scale measures proportions. Skin, hair, style, grooming and expression change how people rate you, often by more than a point.

FAQ
What is the attractiveness scale?+
A 1 to 10 scale for how attractive a face is, where 5 to 6 is average and 8 and above is rare. On forums it is a guess; here your place on it is measured from eight facial proportions.
What is a 7 out of 10 in looks?+
A 7 is clearly above average: most of your proportions sit inside their reference bands and people notice you as good-looking. On this test, most people score between 6 and 8.
What does a 10 out of 10 look like?+
Near-perfect proportions across the board: high symmetry, balanced thirds, a typical width to height, an upward eye tilt and a defined jaw. Almost nobody scores a 10, and even models usually land in the high 8s.
Is a 6 out of 10 ugly?+
No. A 6 is average to above average, the most common score. One or two readings sit outside their bands, and the breakdown shows which.
How do I move up the attractiveness scale?+
Start with the photo: distance, light and angle move the score more than anything. Then the readings that can change: jaw definition, puffiness, grooming, brows and hair. Symmi Lab shows the haircut and steps that suit your face on your own photo.
Is my photo uploaded?+
No. The test runs in your browser and your photo never leaves your device.
