Your result
The Dossier · $19
The reading above is free, including which of the thirteen types you came out as. What $19 buys is the rest of the picture: a body type on its own is not what anyone actually needs, because what to do with it depends on your coloring and your face as much as your frame.
- Your color season, your face shape and your skin undertone alongside the type above
- The complete reasoning table — every question, every axis, every weight
- How the four cross: line and proportion read against your palette and your face
- A permanent private link to it that keeps improving as the guides do

Nothing you answer leaves this page. The scoring code is part of the page you already downloaded and your answers stay in this browser tab. Disconnect your network after the page loads and the test still finishes.
What the eight questions measure
Three blocks, each scored on one yin–yang axis from −3 to +3. Positive is yang. Every question feeds exactly one block, which is what makes a result traceable: each answer moves one axis by a known amount and nothing else.
Bone structure
Small and rounded against Long and sharp
- Vertical impression versus measured height
- Shoulder line
- Bone volume at wrists, hands and feet
Flesh
Soft and curved against Lean and straight
- Upper-body flesh
- Lower-body flesh
Facial features
Round and full against Narrow and sculpted
- Eye shape and size
- Lip fullness
- Facial bone structure
Unlike the color axes, zero is a real position here rather than an absence: balanced on all three blocks is precisely what Classic means.
The thirteen types, and where each one sits

What this test does not do
It does not look at a photograph, and it does not weigh or measure you. Every question is something you can check about yourself in a mirror and check again next month — that is a deliberate constraint, not a missing feature. It also asks nothing about your height in centimetres; what it asks is whether you read longer or shorter than the tape says, which is the thing the taxonomy actually turns on.
The thirteen names come from a published system. The questions, the option wording and the scoring are written from scratch for this site; none of it is transcribed or paraphrased from the source book.
