I'm making this thread because I've noticed that there's a lot of mixed opinions on the average as well as the percentiles for PSL values. I've seen people claiming that Chico, O'pry, Gandy and Barrett are 7-7.5 PSL and even today someone claimed that 6 PSL is 1 in 10.000. Note: This is not a guide on how to rate faces.

The PSL scale assumes that peoples beauty is normally distributed. Therefore the PSL scale ranges from 0-8 with 4 as the average. Every PSL point represents one sigma, or one standard deviation. This means that ~68% of the population is between 3-5 PSL.

Now let's look at the percentiles for each PSL value, 4 and above.

PSL 4: 50th percentile (1 in 2)
PSL 5: 84th percentile (1 in ~6)
PSL 6: 97.75th percentile (1 in ~44)
PSL 7: 99.865th percentile (1 in ~741)
PSL 8: 99.997th percentile (1 in ~28.571)

The definition of a PSL8 is not perfection, it simply means the worlds best looking men alive. The reason that the scale doesn't go up to 10 is because at that point, it really doesn't matter.

@Alarico8 Let me know if I missed anything or made a mistake somewhere
this is legit i agree with him, im doing statistical math at uni and this has 99.9 percent validity
