Each type is a look the convention names, translated here into the reads the mesh can measure. Every one of them is used as a compliment.
고양이상 · goyangi-sang
Cat face
Chic, self-possessed, sharp
Eye corners that lift toward the temples, a jaw that tapers cleanly and features that read as sharp rather than soft.
강아지상 · gangaji-sang
Puppy face
Warm, open, youthful
Rounder, open eyes with corners that sit level or a little low, soft contours and a face people call friendly before anything else.
여우상 · yeou-sang
Fox face
Elegant, knowing, sleek
Long, upturned eyes, a slim nose and a jaw that narrows to a fine chin.
사슴상 · saseum-sang
Deer face
Gentle, wide-eyed, graceful
Large eyes set a little wide on a longer, slimmer face, with a light nose and a narrow chin.
토끼상 · tokki-sang
Rabbit face
Bright, youthful, neat
A shorter, rounder face with round eyes, a short nose and a neat mouth.
곰상 · gom-sang
Bear face
Steady, reassuring, solid
A broad, settled face with a strong, wide jaw, calm eyes and a shorter length.
공룡상 · gongnyong-sang
Dinosaur face
Striking, sculpted, unmistakable
Eyes set wider apart, prominent cheekbones and a narrower forehead and chin: the diamond outline, which the convention calls a dinosaur.
늑대상 · neukdae-sang
Wolf face
Intense, charismatic, angular
Long, lifted eyes over an angular jaw with sharp corners, on a longer face.
Step 1
Thirteen reads, placed
A 478-point face mesh gives the eye opening, the eye-corner tilt, eye size and spacing, face length, jaw width and corner angle, nose width and length, lip fullness, mouth width, forehead width and the lower face. Each is placed 3 to 97: 8 against the site's own measured faces, the rest against an authored band.
Step 2
Eight types, weighted
Every type has a short list of the reads the convention names for it (a cat face lifts at the eye corners, a puppy face opens rounder, a bear face carries a wide jaw) with a weight each, plus the face shapes it is drawn on. Your placements are summed per type and turned into shares that add to 100.
Step 3
A blend when it is close
The top type is your result. When the runner-up reaches 70% of the top share, the result says so (cat with a touch of fox) instead of hiding a near tie, so a retake that moves one read a few points changes the mix rather than the headline.

8 of the thirteen reads are placed among the faces this site has measured (one closed day, straight-on photos, the same distributions behind the symmetry, jaw, eye and lip plates). The rest sit against a band the site authored because no distribution for them is kept. A placement says where you sit; it never says better or worse.
Korean entertainment and beauty writing sorts faces by the animal they recall (dongmul-sang, 동물상). The founding pair is the cat face, sharp and angular with narrow lifted eyes, and the puppy face, round-eyed and soft; fans and beauty writers added the fox, deer, rabbit, bear, dinosaur and wolf, and a long tail of one-off animals for individual idols. It is often compared to a personality type: a way of saying what someone's face does first, not how good it is.
This test keeps that spirit. It applies the convention to any face, reads geometry only (never background or ethnicity), writes every type as the compliment it is used as, and shows the reads behind the result so the typing is inspectable. The critique that such labels can become a burden once they turn into a metric (see Sources) is the reason the share on the result is a share of the match, not a score of the face.
| Type | The convention's cue | Why not here |
|---|---|---|
| Snake 뱀상 | Narrow, intense eyes and prominent cheekbones | Its cues sit inside the cat and wolf reads here, and the English word is an insult the Korean one is not. |
| Horse 말상 | A long face with a long nose | The length cue goes to the deer and dinosaur reads; the English phrase is not a compliment. |
| Frog 개구리상 | Wide-set, round eyes and a wide smile | Wide-set eyes already score for the deer and dinosaur reads; the English word lands badly. |
| Hamster 햄스터상 | Round cheeks and a small mouth | A fan addition rather than a traditional type; its cues sit inside the rabbit read. |
| Monkey 원숭이상 | An expressive, mobile face | Expression is not in the landmarks, so nothing measured can assign it. |
| Turtle, fish, cow 거북이상, 물고기상, 소상 | Named for expression, posture or eye set | Not geometry a photo measures, so not assigned. |
In the Korean convention this test follows, one of eight: cat, puppy, fox, deer, rabbit, bear, dinosaur or wolf. Each is defined by a handful of reads (a cat face lifts at the outer eye corners and tapers at the jaw; a puppy face opens rounder with softer corners; a deer face carries large eyes on a longer face; a bear face a wide jaw on a shorter one). The test measures thirteen such reads from your photo, scores all eight types and names the top one, with the reads that decided it drawn on your face.
A way of describing a face by the animal it recalls, common in Korean entertainment and beauty writing (dongmul-sang, 동물상). The two founding types are the cat face (goyangi-sang: sharp, angular, narrow lifted eyes) and the puppy face (gangaji-sang: round eyes, soft contours, youthful). Fans and beauty writers added fox, deer, rabbit, bear, dinosaur, wolf and others. The types describe a look, not a measurement, so this test translates each one into the reads the convention names and places them against measured faces.
The eyes, mostly. A cat face has outer eye corners that sit higher than the inner ones and a longer, narrower eye opening, with a jaw that narrows to the chin; it reads as chic and self-possessed. A puppy face has a rounder, more open eye with corners level or a little low, and softer jaw corners; it reads as warm and youthful. On the test these are the eye-corner tilt, the eye opening ratio and the jaw reads, and they pull in opposite directions.
It is reproducible, which is the honest claim. The thirteen reads come from the same 478-point mesh as the rest of this site and are placed against the site's own measured faces where a distribution exists. The types themselves are a convention, not a finding: the weights are an authored translation of how Korean beauty writing describes each animal. Two people would not always agree on which animal a face recalls, and neither would two photos; the test is built so a small change moves the shares, not the headline.
Because the runner-up came within 70% of the top type's share. Cat and fox, puppy and rabbit, bear and wolf share several reads, so faces near the line between two types are common. Showing the pair is more honest than picking one and letting the next photo pick the other.
The shares move a little with every photo: a smile widens the mouth, a low phone shortens the forehead, a squint narrows the eyes. The reads that carry most weight (face length, jaw width, eye opening) are the steadier ones, and a near tie is shown as a blend, so the top type should hold across straight-on, relaxed photos. If it flips, the two types were close and the blend line will have said so.
No. The share is how far ahead the top type sits among eight, not a score of your face, and every type is used as a compliment in the culture it comes from: cat faces are called chic, puppy faces warm, bear faces reassuring, dinosaur faces striking. Nothing on the result ranks you against anyone. Nothing about your background is inferred either: the test reads geometry, not ethnicity, and the convention is applied to any face.
They are part of the wider convention, and their cues are measurable, but in English those words are insults in a way the Korean ones are not. The long-face cue of the horse type goes to the deer and dinosaur reads, the narrow intense eyes of the snake type to the cat and wolf reads, the wide-set eyes of the frog type to the deer and dinosaur reads. Types defined by expression (monkey) or posture are not geometry a photo can measure and are not assigned.
Yes, and it never asks or detects your sex. The convention is used for idols and actors of both, and the reads (eye opening, corner tilt, jaw, nose, mouth) are the same measures on any face. The puppy, dinosaur, wolf and bear types are as often used for men as the cat and fox types are for women, but the test assigns them from the reads alone.
The photo is never uploaded for this test: the face mesh, the thirteen reads and the scoring all run in your browser. The derived scores are saved temporarily so your result can be opened again on this device, and are deleted on the schedule in the privacy policy. The scan asks your birth year first and is for adults.
