Fuck that. I'm the King of Jordan. Kneel before me.
Although how it worked out that I'm Chinese is beyond me.
Apologies by the way for the early morning just got out of bed look, but it's early morning and I just got out of bed.

dude it thinks you're the king of jordan and chinese which is wrong in so many ways. i kinda like how the yellow bar represents chinese though.

In today's world, everyone is Chinese for 15 minutes. What I can't believe is that it says he has "Very Low Politeness". Unpossible!

Me. I'm Asian? Who knew?!

Actually, I tried several photos and they all came up Asian to some degree.

Wow this is really fascinating. Does anyone think the profile they get is at all accurate, or is it a one-size-fits-all thing that shapes itself to you after you read it, like a horoscope?

Apparently, I'm Al Pacino. I'm also a white collar middle easterner, though. I guess I better get used to long waits at the airport.

It's fairly close on a couple points, but way off for most of it.

- Ambition should be low
- Gay factor - I'm bisexual
- Honor and politeness should be fairly high
- Income should be -0- (and my last salary was lower than they suggest)

It says I'm concerned with social status and am calculating. Wha? Me?! Hahahahahahahaha. *snort*

"Your view of other types" is so off it's beyond hilarious.

Although, as a kid, I played with the idea of being a lawyer or a pyschologist, I'd need way more ambition to fulfill those roles.

They really need to have some sort of feedback so they can tweak their algorithms or whatever they're using.

man, it took me 3 minutes of thinking about it before i got that joke, loquacious. i was like "do i bitch alot?" then i was like "oh, i get it." man.

also, it was pretty accurate for me. i'm technically spanish i guess so the european is good. and the profile is me almost exactly.

I'm not going to show the picture I used because it's hideous. So hideous that I got matched up with Quentin Tarantino - I mean, I know I'm not that much of a looker but jesus.

Oh, and it thinks I'm the 29th gayest man it's ever seen. I think it's gaydar is on the fritz.

The "methodology" page is cracking me up. Basically, they say "We, uh, like, have this algorhythm? That we, um, use?".

Can you really take seriously anyone who says "inputted into"? I think not!

(Of course, once I try this, if it gives me 10 on intelligence and honor, I'll just have to take this all back...)

algorithm. guess I won't be seeing that "10" anytime soon. jeez.
posted by taz 09 June | 18:57
"to which it was imputted in"?
posted by mudpuppie 09 June | 19:06
to the algorithm are the measurements inputted into, yo.

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

They should have just said "facelyzer."

One of my problems with that site is that when the window was minimzied, the Foxfire tab read "faceanal".

Oh, no! That's hilarious.
