Now here is a test for facial attractiveness. I had a very strong bias towards female faces as the results tend to reveal.

Quote:
On a 7-point rating scale (where 1 is least attractive and 7 is most attractive), you gave the female faces in this test an average rating of 6. The average person taking this test gave the female faces an average rating of 4.5 out of 7.


On a 7-point rating scale, you gave the male faces in this test an average rating of 3. The average person taking this test gave the male faces an average rating of 3.5 out of 7. As you can see, people typically find female faces more attractive than male faces. This effect is fairly general, and not specific to the set of faces you saw in this test.

hmn. .

I find them equally attractive; my average score was 5 for both genders.

It's funny, in this context does that make me more straight than the average person?

I thought most of those people looked like they could join the circus...I am sorry, I also think I am a hidious monster but I would rather look at a rock or a tree then most peoples picture, (including my own). On another note, I find most people I see in real life to be attractive...it is just pictures of peoples faces that scare me. I scored everyone way below average :oops:

Is it just me or were they a kinda odd-looking bunch?

I think many of them only looked strange because they were being forcedly expressionless. . . imagine what the same faces would have looked like smiling, or doing anything that normal people do with their faces all the time. Different, no?

I must have thought they were an exceedingly ugly lot.

Is it just me or did the faces look Photoshopped? I thought there were about 5 different faces that were just slightly altered to look different. Mostly, these people look to be the product of inbreeding.

Too many faces to judge relatively and the initial presentation went much to fast.
