Front view - Ears

Ear protrusion angle

The angle between the vertical side of the face and a line to the outer ear edge. It captures ear protrusion as seen from the front; small angles mean ears that sit close to the head.

What counts as ideal

The ideal band is 10.0 deg to 11.5 deg for both men and women. A reading anywhere inside the band scores a full 10.

Ideal range

10.0 deg to 11.5 deg

How it is scored

Everything inside the band scores 10, and the penalty accelerates the further a reading falls outside it rather than dropping off a cliff at the edge. For the male band, the falloff is measured against bounds of 0.0 deg and 16.0 deg: a reading out at either of those has spent its full allowance and scores about 3. The curve keeps going past them, so an extreme reading still separates from a merely poor one.

Ear protrusion angle is one of 67 measurements in the harmony pillar. No single measurement decides a face: each one contributes its own shortfall to a weighted mean, and one hopeless measurement costs a full measurement's worth and never more.
