How often should I take a PSL test?

Baseline now, then once every 30 days under identical conditions. Daily testing measures lighting, not progress.

Why did my PSL score drop between tests?

Usually conditions, not face: head tilt, harsh side lighting, camera below eye level, or a different distance all move readings. Retake per the checklist before believing the delta.

What should I standardize for a fair PSL test?

Front-on angle, ears level, soft even front lighting, neutral expression, camera at eye level, consistent distance, no glasses, and the same framing each time.

The PSL Test — Take It, Then Beat It in 30 Days

A standardized PSL test: controlled conditions, one measurement, and a 30-day retake protocol so your deltas actually mean something. Free, on-device.

A PSL test is only as good as its conditions. Same light, same angle, same expression — or the delta is noise. This page gives you the standardized protocol, the free measurement, and a 30-day retake plan that turns a one-off score into a trend you can trust.

Seconds, not minutesMeasured on-device

No photo handy? Try an example:

🔒 Free measuring runs entirely on your device. When you unlock the AI deep report you can choose to attach your photo — used only to generate that one readout, then discarded, never stored. Scores are geometric measurements, not a judgement of your worth.

Before you test — the standardization checklist

Every item below moves individual readings by more than most real change does. Lock them in:

Angle: camera at eye level, front-on, ears level (a tilted head fakes asymmetry)
Light: soft, even, front lighting — no harsh side light (fakes shadow-asymmetry) and no overexposure (wipes the eye area)
Expression: neutral, relaxed jaw, lips together
Distance: arm's length or a front camera at consistent framing
Hardware: same device, same app, no beauty filters (they move landmarks, not faces)

Take the test

The tool above runs the full pipeline on your device — 478 landmarks, 8 metrics, your PSL score with the weakest link flagged. Free, no account.

How to read your result

Three things, in order of usefulness:

Your weakest metric — that is the highest-leverage signal on the page, and the deep report's improvement plan targets it.
Your tier — see the PSL tier list for where your band sits and what its defining geometry looks like.
The score itself — last, and only against your own baseline. The PSL score page explains the scale's median anchoring.

The 30-day retake protocol

One measurement is a snapshot; the trend is the signal. The protocol:

Day 0 — baseline test, saved locally with the date (the tool does this automatically)
Days 1–29 — work the plan: leanness, brows, hair, skincare, sleep. Change inputs, not the camera.
Day 30 — retake under identical conditions, same checklist, same device
Read the delta, not the number — +0.3 under controlled conditions is real progress; +0.8 across different lighting is noise

The tool keeps your last 10 results on-device and draws the trend — no account needed, nothing leaves the device.

Common misreads

"My score dropped overnight" — conditions moved. Check the checklist before believing it.
"One photo says 4.1, another says 5.2" — both are true for their conditions. Standardize, then compare.
"The test says my eyes are bad" — one low metric is a pointer, not a verdict; harmony penalizes fixation on a single feature.
