The IDRlabs Dark Core Faces Test (IDR-DCFT©) was developed by IDRlabs International. The IDR-DCFT utilizes the research of Nicholas S. Holtzman Ph.D., but is not associated with Holtzman or his institutions, and is not the equivalent of any instruments authored by him.
This Dark Core Faces Test has been made with the aid of professional analysts who have experience with personality testing, organizational psychology, and psychopathology. Even so, please keep in mind that tests such as these are merely indicators – a first peek at the system to see if it is possible for you to identify dark traits in people on the basis of their faces.
Dark Core Faces Tests, whether they are professional, used in academic research, or free online tests like this one, are indicators to help give you a clue as to your ability to recognize dark traits in people on the basis of their faces. When dealing with the re-emerging field of physiognomy, it is important to realize that though there are correlations and likelihoods, these correlations do not imply a complete equivalence between facial structures and the demonstrated traits.
The materials for the facemorphs were provided by the Center for Open Science. The facemorphs are amalgams of numerous individuals and thus no single individual can be identified from them. All individuals who contributed to the facemorphs gave their consent and the use of the facemorphs follows established ethical guidelines.
The authors of this free online Dark Core Faces Test are certified in the use of numerous different personality tests and have worked professionally with psychology, psychopathology, political psychology, and personality testing.
