mytype.fyi: what’s my type?
mytype.fyi is the original, at mytype.fyi.
What’s my type? mytype.fyi is a free test: tap the AI-generated faces you like and it shows your type in faces and plain words, your hidden gems, and who’s not your type.
How it works
What you get
Your results are pictures, not a score. They show:
Hotties you like: faces that nearly everyone finds attractive and that you do too.
Hotties you don’t like: faces that nearly everyone finds attractive and you don’t. This is where your taste really differs from everyone else’s.
Mids you like: faces most people pass over that you’re drawn to. These are the gems.
Celebs you like: famous faces that match your type.
See all the types → Every look people say is their type, with example faces. When you’re signed in, each one shows how much it matches yours.
Your type is yours
There’s an idea that everyone wants the same faces. Our data says otherwise. Take two people who both rate women and compare the faces in each of their top 2%:
Even the faces that are “objectively” attractive split people. A perfectly average face lands in the top 10% for about one person in five, and in the bottom 40% for nearly two in five. The face everyone rates highest does no better: it’s in the top 10% for 19% of people and the bottom 40% for 42%.
People rating men agree with each other much more (about 43% overlap on average). Taste in men’s faces is more of a consensus; taste in women’s faces is remarkably personal.
The faces
Every face in the crowds is an AI-generated image, not a photo, and is screened to be an adult. Some resemble real people, including public figures. Using generated faces lets us show every combination of features, including ones that are rare in real photos. Celebrity results use public photos of well-known people.
Your data
No photos are needed. We keep your taps to build your model, and your email to send you your results and let you log back in. You can delete everything at any time. Results can be shown anonymously, like the examples on the home page, and used in published anonymous research; nobody is ever named. Full details are in our Privacy Policy and Terms.
Questions
Is this a dating app?
No. It’s a tool that tells you your type.
How long does it take?
About ten minutes for twenty crowds, which is our recommended minimum. You can stop and come back any time.
Why “hotties” and “mids”?
They’re about how everyone rates a face, not how you do. Your type cuts across both: there are everyone’s favourites you don’t care for and overlooked faces you love.
Do you use photos of me?
No. The tool only needs your taps.
Can I delete my data?
Yes, from your profile, any time.
Is it accurate?
It’s a statistical model from a limited number of taps, so it’s a strong guide rather than a verdict. The Results page shows exactly how well it’s predicting your taps as you go.
Do I have a type?
Almost everyone does, and it is more personal than people think. When two people rate the same faces, their top 2% overlap by only about 3% on average. Most people can recognise their type in a fraction of a second but cannot put it into words.
Is there a test to find my type?
Yes. mytype.fyi is a free test for your physical type. You tap the faces you like in crowds of 12 AI-generated faces, and after about 20 crowds (10 to 15 minutes) it shows your type as faces and plain-word traits. It keeps getting more precise the longer you go.
Why am I attracted to people who aren’t my type?
Usually because the type you describe in words is not the type you actually respond to. mytype.fyi learns from what you tap, not from what you say, so it can show the pattern behind attractions that surprise you, including the overlooked faces most people pass over.
Is it free?
Yes. Finding your type is free, and you do not need to upload a photo of yourself. Some extras are paid.
Is it private?
Your taps belong to your account and you can delete everything at any time. Every face in the crowds is an AI-generated image, not a photo of anyone. Results may appear anonymously as examples and in published research; nobody is ever named.
Does it work for men and women?
Yes. You choose whether you want to rate women or men. Each has its own AI-generated faces, its own model and its own results.
