Read the guideHow these guides work
Each guide walks through the measurement by hand, with the reference values and where they come from. You can see why a number lands where it does.
These checks describe proportions in one photo. They don't measure your worth. Camera distance, head angle, light and expression all change the result, so take your photos the same way each time.
