How the MyType FYI Quiz Works
Your eyes make the choices. A small, transparent set of rules looks for recurring details.
Eight balanced sets
Every set has twelve fictional adult portraits: two from each of our six editorial groups. Across eight sets, you see 96 different portraits and sixteen examples of each group. Both mode shows an equal number of men’s and women’s portraits.
The complete selection is shuffled when you start. Later sets do not change to reinforce your early picks. Going back or refreshing keeps the same portraits.
Patterns, with the counts attached
We compare how often you selected a group with your overall selection rate. A small smoothing adjustment prevents a few choices from sounding more decisive than they are. We name one group only when it stands apart; two groups may share the result.
For example, picking 10 of 16 portraits from one group, against 24 of 96 overall, gives that group a stronger signal. Those are example numbers, not a measured accuracy claim.
Read the exact rules
For each group, the adjusted rate is (selected + 4 × overall selection rate) ÷ (displayed + 4). Subtract the overall rate to obtain the group’s lift. A single type needs lift ≥0.10 and a lead ≥0.08. Otherwise, two groups each with lift ≥0.06 produce a mixed result.
Fewer than eight picks, or picks from fewer than three sets, produce insufficient evidence. Selecting at least 90% of the collection produces a low-contrast result, rather than a type.
Features need their own evidence
A feature is shown only when there are at least twelve displayed portraits with it, twelve known alternatives, and four selections spanning at least three rounds. Its adjusted selection rate must exceed the alternative by at least 0.10. We show the counts and actual picked examples. Unknown tags are left out of the comparison.
A picture is not an explanation of a person
Hair, pose, expression, styling and light interact. Our editorial groups overlap, and the quiz does not isolate a feature’s causal effect. It cannot determine someone’s personality, ethnicity, compatibility or attractiveness score.
