About
TypeTap is one person's answer to a login wall
An independent face test: six rounds, about ninety seconds, no account. It is not a company, not a startup, and not affiliated with mytype.fyi.
Why this exists
The face test idea is not ours. The original is mytype.fyi, and it works: tap the faces you like, find out what the choices have in common. It lets you keep tapping — every face you tap is replaced — and after about twenty rounds it shows the result, then asks for an account (Google, X or email) before you can see it.
That gate is reasonable for the product mytype.fyi is building, which is a dating product that needs to know who you are. It is a bad fit for a ninety-second test taken on a phone after seeing a link. So this exists: the same premise, a shorter format, and nothing standing between the page and the first face.
If you want the original, it is at mytype.fyi. If you want the comparison, it is on the MyType alternative page.
How the result is computed
Every face in the pool carries ten tags: gender presentation, age range, skin tone, hair colour, hair length and texture, distinctive feature, brow weight, facial hair, lip fullness and eye openness. Your taps become positive labels, the faces you saw and skipped become negative ones, and a regularised logistic regression learns which tags you lean toward.
The first four rounds are assembled so that no single trait dominates the grid. Once there are enough taps to draw a boundary, rounds five and six are chosen against it, so they sharpen an existing estimate instead of repeating it.
All of that runs in your browser. The model is fitted on your device from your own taps, and the taps are never uploaded. There is no server-side profile of you, because there is no profile.
What this deliberately does not do
- No account, no email, no signup — not even as an option.
- No photo upload, and no analysis of your own face. The input is which faces you tap, nothing else.
- No dating product, and no plans for one.
- No score out of ten, and no claim that a type predicts compatibility.
- No invented crowd percentages. Until enough people have taken the test, the wording stays vague on purpose.
The faces
Every face is AI-generated for this test. None of them is a real person, a public figure or anything scraped from another site, and none of them carries a real identity. The pool is small on purpose and grows over time; the number on the front page is read from the library at build time rather than typed in.
The test is written for adults. The faces are AI-generated portraits of people who do not exist — they are images, not photographs of anyone real — and there is no nudity anywhere in the pool.
Who makes it
One independent developer. No team, no funding, no roadmap meeting. The test, the faces, the copy and the server are all part of the same small project, which is why the privacy posture is short enough to read in a minute — there is not much to disclose.

Corrections, complaints and removal requests go to [email protected]. If a face in the pool resembles a real person closely enough to bother you, say which id and it will be retired.
