MyType FYI

About this app

MyType FYI is a free, browser-based visual attraction quiz designed to help you discover the faces you're drawn to through a simple, intuitive tapping exercise. Instead of filling out verbal checklists or personality questionnaires, you're presented with 20 contact sheets containing 12 synthetic portraits each—240 faces in total—and asked to tap the ones that catch your eye. The site uses crowd-calibrated data from 76 recurring archetypes (from Goth Girl and Pre-Raphaelite Beauty to Silver Fox and Rugged Lumberjack) to map patterns in your choices. What makes it genuinely interesting is how it separates your personal hidden gems from consensus favorites—showing you which faces you love that the crowd overlooks, and which popular faces just aren't your type. You get a unique taste score (r = 0.24 in the example shown), screen archetypes you gravitate toward (like 90s Indie Heartthrob or Nordic Thriller Lead), and a dot-plot visualization comparing your taste to everyone else's.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

MyType FYI is a visual attraction quiz that replaces 'I'll know it when I see it' with 240 synthetic faces across 20 contact sheets, then maps your taps against a crowd-calibrated archive of 76 archetypes. The editorial design is distinctive and the site is fast (mobile Lighthouse 92). The free core study is genuinely free, with a $3.99 AI dossier and a $7.99 three-report pass as the only asks. Weak points are real but fixable: security headers are largely missing (2/12), the hero preview is too dense to read, and onboarding explains intuition in paragraphs instead of showing it. Against BuzzFeed Quizzes and 16Personalities it has a sharper analytical hook; against OkCupid it's a self-discovery tool, not a matching engine.

Measure by measure

Usability

Clear above-the-fold CTA, a free core study, and a genuinely transparent pricing page with a free-vs-paid comparison table. Onboarding is explained in text columns rather than demonstrated, and the archetype index link is easy to miss.

Design

Editorial serif + cream/oxblood palette gives a distinct art-gallery voice, and the hero shows the actual face grid and scatter plot. Held back by cramped micro-labels and dense lower-page paragraphs.

Speed

Lighthouse mobile 92/100 with LCP 1.1s and CLS 0.001 — genuinely snappy. Desktop dips to 86, suggesting heavier desktop assets, but nothing users would notice.

Security

Accessibility

Lighthouse a11y 100/100 with one failing audit on mismatched accessible names. Multi-language dossier support (EN/中文/FR/ES) is a real plus, though no public WCAG statement exists.

Growth

A real, specific problem (people can't name their type) with a genuine wedge: crowd-calibrated archetypes separating hidden gems from consensus favorites. Shareable HD cards give it a loop. Early stage, but the idea has room.

Improvement areas

Security headers largely absent (2/12): no HSTS, CSP, frame protection, Referrer-Policy, SPF or DMARC.
Hero preview card is too dense — face grid, scatter plot and legend crammed into one panel with tiny labels.
Onboarding relies on three text columns instead of a short demo of the tap-to-pattern flow.
One failing accessibility audit: visible text labels without matching accessible names.

Design & Usability

MyType FYI looks like an art gallery that decided to run a personality study. The serif headline, cream ground and single oxblood accent are consistent from hero to footer, and the hero shows the real product — a face grid beside a taste-vs-crowd scatter plot — instead of stock marketing art. The weak spot is density: the hero preview crams grid, plot and legend into one card with micro-labels too small to read, and the lower sections run four to five paragraphs deep. Usability is solid where it counts: 'Begin the study' is unmissable, the core study is free, and the pricing page actually explains what you get free versus paid. Onboarding, though, is three columns of text telling you to 'choose intuitively' — a demo would beat a paragraph.

Speed & Security

Speed is the standout. Lighthouse mobile scores 92/100 with LCP 1.1s, CLS 0.001 and TBT 241ms — the page is essentially instant, and desktop's 86 is a minor dip from heavier assets, not a user-facing problem. Security is the opposite story. HTTPS is enforced and the 'no photo uploads, synthetic portraits only' design genuinely limits data risk, but the header probe found HSTS, CSP, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy all absent, plus no SPF or DMARC — 2/12 on the checklist. No SOC 2, ISO or bug bounty signals either. For a site collecting taste data and taking payments, the missing transport and email hardening are the easy wins.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility scores 100/100 on Lighthouse's automated audit, with one failing item where visible text labels don't match accessible names — a small but real fix. The dossier ships in English, Chinese, French and Spanish, which is more language coverage than most indie quizzes bother with, though there's no public WCAG statement. Growth is the interesting question: the category is crowded with BuzzFeed quizzes and 16Personalities, but neither separates your personal hidden gems from crowd consensus the way this does. The 76-archetype crowd-calibrated archive is a real wedge, the $3.99 one-time dossier is priced to convert, and the watermark-free HD share cards are a built-in distribution loop. The limit is retention — a quiz is a one-session product unless the group rooms and friend comparisons pull people back.

Conclusion

If you've ever stared at a dating profile and thought 'I don't know what my type is, I just know it when I see it,' this is the most concrete answer anyone has built. The crowd-versus-you split is the part worth the visit — seeing a face the crowd rates 94% that you rated 38% is a small, genuinely fun shock of self-recognition. Go in expecting a snapshot, not a verdict: the site is honest that preferences shift and a quiz can't capture attraction. The $3.99 dossier is cheap enough to try once; skip the subscription anxiety, there isn't one. Fix the security headers and shrink the hero card, and this goes from a clever curiosity to something you'd send to three friends.

Suggestions for improvement

Add HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and DMARC — the header probe found 2/12 checklist items present.
Fix the one failing a11y audit: elements with visible text labels need matching accessible names.
Simplify the hero preview card — split the face grid, scatter plot and legend so micro-labels are legible.
Replace the three text columns of onboarding with a short animated demo of the tap-to-pattern flow.
