Face Analyzer for heritage and personality

[laminatedevildoll]

Has anyone heard of the site? Apparently, after you submit a picture of your face into the analyzer, it guesses your heritage and also your personality. I am trying to put my picture into see if it's true...

Interesting Face Analyzer... I am still not sure how they determined the 'gay factor' component.

That was soooooo funny!

 

[hitssquad]

it guesses your heritage

It also guesses your race.

 

[Smurf]

The quality of the picture you submitted was too low for it to be analyzed.

Damn didn't work. I think it's the saturation that throws it off, http://www.gasolinealleyantiques.com/images/Radios%20Page/r-smurf.jpg"

 

[laminatedevildoll]

I tried it too.

Wow, you are a beta academic! Was the race analysis close or not?

It also guesses your race.

Yeah it does, but notice that there's no hispanic or african american race choices...

and... wait for it... 100% chinese

listen to this crap

You particularly enjoy the traditional way of life. Having drinks with your friends, attending parties and relaxing while watching TV are some of the simple pleasures you indulge in. You may also enjoy physical exercise. Your driving force is to retire as early as possible, so that you can do the things you enjoy more often. Your main source of ambition comes from this desire.

You don't particularly like your job but you do it without complaining. You realize that the income that it provides is essential to your lifestyle. You are friendly yet competitive with your co-workers. This competitiveness may lead you to squander your earnings to match other peoples' possessions.

You operate most effectively when there is a set power structure, and the lines of authority are clear. You know your place in the ranks, you play by the rules, and will deliver what is expected of you. You do not care for responsibility; you would rather be care free.

obviously crap, I'm at LEAST a '3' in gay factor

 

[Smurf]

I am CLEARLY an artist

Your main drive is to be admired by those with similar interests to you. Money and influence is not of your concern. You are interested and may be active in certain political movements which you consider to be moral. You may act or dress in a unique way to reflect your eccentric personality. Your emotions fluctuate fairly often resulting in you going through incredible highs and devastating lows. When someone is attacking you personally you tend to ignore them, for you do not like to argue with those who you consider to be barbaric. You may however simply be fearful and timid. You generally enjoy interacting with other and have some acquaintances.

You may enjoy using drugs to escape reality and explore different perspectives. You spend much of your time doing what you love. You are employed for the sole reason of sustaining yourself. You may even be unemployed. But you may be great at your passion and making good money off of it.

Except for the eccentric dressing habits, it fits me perfectly.

Very interesting, Smurf.

In their website it states the methodology

How it works
By using state of the art facial recognition technology and the most recent developments in the field of evolutionary psychology we are able to provide you with a patented process that correlates facial characteristics to personality traits. Our Biometric software allows us to automatically find and measure certain key facial features. We use these measurements with our algorithms to determine your inherent personality profile.

The Faceanalyzer process flows as follows:

1.Your picture is sent to our facial recognition engine.

2. The world's most accurate facial recognition software determines the placement of major facial characteristics (e.g. nose)

3. The measurements of these major characteristics are then inputted into the Faceanalyzer algorithms.

4. Your statistics are sent back to the page for you to view!


To prove that our method contains factual data, we are able to determine your race and gender with a 87% success rate. We are continuously incorporating breakthrough developments so we can improve the accuracy of our data on an ongoing basis.

But obviously, they don't know what they are talking about. Who was your celeb match?

 

[Smurf]

I'm also an alpha boss.

An excellent analogy. The race part is the only thing I'd think there should be a correlation with, and it seems that part is what they're worst at.

Well, they do claim that bad pictures lead to 'inaccurate results.
