PSL tiers explained
PSL is a community rating vocabulary that predates this app. MogTracker maps its 0–100 composite onto six named bands so results are legible to people already using those terms.
The six bands
| Tier | Score | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| GigaChad / GigaStacy | 90–100 | Effectively unreachable on this scale. Requires near-reference values on almost every metric simultaneously. |
| Chad / Stacy | 78–89 | Strong across the board with no significant weak metric. Rare. |
| Chadlite / Becky | 65–77 | Clearly above average, typically with one or two metrics well above reference carrying the composite. |
| HTN | 50–64 | Above the midpoint. Usually a balanced set with no severe outliers, or strong metrics offsetting weak ones. |
| Normie | 35–49 | The most populated band by a wide margin. Contains the majority of scans. |
| Sub-Human | 0–34 | A deliberately provocative community label for the bottom band, not a clinical or medical assessment. |
Where the score comes from
The composite is a weighted average of fourteen scored metrics, not a simple mean. Facial thirds and canthal tilt carry the most weight at 12% each; philtrum length carries the least at 3%. A harmony penalty then reduces the total when one metric sits far below the others, on the reasoning that a single conspicuous outlier affects the impression of a face more than the raw average suggests.
Why most people score in the 35–49 band
The reference values are taken from faces selected as references, so the scale is not centred on the population — it is centred on those. Scoring in the Normie band means measuring like most people, which is what the arithmetic should produce. Across scans to date the mean composite sits in the mid-40s for both men and women.
What the tiers are not
These bands describe conformity to a fixed set of proportions measured from two reference faces. They do not measure attractiveness, which is subjective, culturally variable and strongly influenced by expression, grooming, styling and voice — none of which a landmark mesh can see. The bottom tier's name is inherited from community usage and is deliberately provocative; it is not a clinical or medical assessment, and it is not a statement about any person.
Moving between tiers
The bands are roughly thirteen points wide, so crossing one takes a real change rather than a better scan. The efficient place to look is your lowest-scoring heavily-weighted metric, because the harmony penalty means an outlier costs you twice: once in its own weighted contribution and again in the penalty it triggers. Raising a metric that is already strong yields comparatively little.
Which metrics can move at all varies. Soft-tissue measurements — lip ratio, mouth-to-nose width, eye aperture — respond somewhat to body composition, sleep, and swelling. Skeletal ones — facial thirds, cheekbone-to-jaw ratio, facial width-to-height — are fixed after growth and change only surgically. The per-metric guides say which category each falls into before listing anything.
Common questions
What does PSL stand for?
PSL comes from the names of three forums where the rating vocabulary developed. It is community shorthand rather than a clinical scale, and no professional body defines or recognises it.
Is a PSL score the same as an attractiveness rating?
No. A PSL score measures how closely a face matches a fixed set of proportions. Attractiveness involves expression, grooming, styling, voice, and personal taste — none of which landmark geometry can capture.
What is a good PSL score?
Most people measure in the 35–49 Normie band, because the reference values come from selected reference faces rather than a population average. Scoring above 65 means matching those references unusually closely.
Can my PSL tier change?
Yes, though usually by a few points rather than a whole band. Soft-tissue metrics shift with weight, sleep and swelling; skeletal proportions are fixed after growth. Scan-to-scan variation of two or three points is normal noise.
