Please bear in mind that the test results depend solely on how perceptive and aware you are of your own body and general appearance. How we look at ourselves is usually highly subjective. Additionally, our facial features often differ from pure Kibbe type descriptions. Therefore, the test results are often incorrect.

If you are in doubt about which type you are, use the below list of comparisons.
SOFT DRAMATIC vs. THEATRICAL ROMANTIC
A Soft Dramatic woman is taller. She has thicker bones. The male Yang element dominates, the female Yin element is in the background. The body structure is more massive.
A Theatrical Romantic woman is smaller. She has more defined bones. The female element Yin dominates, and the male Yang element is in the background. The body structure is more petite, and the curves are more delicate.
SOFT GAMINE vs. ROMANTIC
A Soft Gamine woman is shorter and more petite. She has a more delicate bone structure, slightly angular shoulders and the outline of the jaw. Her hands and feet are somewhat square but small and delicate. The body structure, even if it is round, does not match the very distinct curves of the Romantic type.
A Romantic woman has wider bones and a more massive build. She has a rounded shoulder line and the outline of the jaw. Plumper hands and feet. Overall, the shapes are lush and very round, as feminine as possible.
CLASSIC vs. NATURAL
Classic women have a more symmetrical face and body structure and smaller bones. Regular and more subtly sculpted facial features.
Natural women have a more muscular build and thicker bones. Less regular features and a wider face.
DRAMATIC vs. GAMINE
Dramatic women are taller. The body structure is characterized by longer vertical lines (longer arms, legs, body). It has narrower eyes and less full lips.
Gamine women tend to be shorter. They have a more delicate bone structure, although still sharp and angular. They have larger eyes, fuller lips, and more delicate facial features.
FLAMBOYANT NATURAL vs. FLAMBOYANT GAMINE
A Flamboyant Natural female is taller. She has more massive bones and a wider face. She also has a stronger body structure.
A Flamboyant Gamine woman is shorter and smaller. She has a more expressive beauty and moves more vigorously.
SOFT CLASSIC vs. SOFT NATURAL
A Soft Classic woman has a more symmetrical bone structure and a more petite body structure. The body is softer and more delicate.
A Soft Natural woman has a more massive figure and wider shoulders. Her bones are stronger than the Soft Classic type. The eyes are often more prominent, and the lips are fuller.
DRAMATIC CLASSIC vs. CLASSIC
A Dramatic Classic woman is more bony. The arms, jawline, hands, and feet are more square. The facial features are sharper.
A Classic woman has a more symmetrical bone structure. The arms, jaw outline, hands, and feet are narrower. The facial features are more symmetrical.
SOFT GAMINE vs. THEATRICAL ROMANTIC
A Soft Gamine woman has a rounder physique. Hands and feet are plump. The bone structure is stronger. The eyes are large and round („Bette Davis Eyes”), the lips are full, and the cheeks resemble two halves of an apple.
A Theatrical Romantic woman is smaller, and her curves are softer. The hands and feet are much narrower, as is the entire bone structure. The eyes are also quite round but slightly slanting (the outer corners point upwards). The lips are not as full. The cheekbones are much sharper and more expressive.
It is worth remembering that there are exceptions to every rule. It is unrealistic to describe the nuances of female beauty in thirteen types. The important thing is that most of our beauty features correspond to a given type. We should also remember that the primary determinant of belonging to a given type is the perfect clothes for our figure and the most appropriate style.
