MyHeritage.com can do wonders for your self-esteem…Yehuda Levi. Of course, I don’t even know who Yehuda Levi is. However, according to MyHeritage.com, I’m a 68% match facially to him, which means that he’s now “The Celebrity I Most Resemble”.
My long-lost twinOf course, other interesting matches for me? Well, check these out:
Michael Jordan: 59% |
Agam Rudberg: 56% |
Carl Nielsen: 56% |
Muhammad Ali: 55% |
Ayrton Senna: 53% |
Jennifer Connelly: 50% |
Jon Voigt: 48% |
Gary Cooper: 47% |
68% isn’t very high — that’s a D! It’s interesting that all of the celebrity photos have the same facing as your original photo or are centered, but none look to the other side. hum…. How accurate is this stuff? Well not very because I didn’t get Natalie Portman or Angelina Jolie, which are the 2 most common ones I hear in person.
Teresa… there’s a BIG difference between 68% academically, and 68% in practice.
Case in point: if you are going to have an operation, and have a 68% chance of survival, while it isn’t a stellar percentage, it does reflect an almost 7 in 10 chance of you making it.
However, in academics, a 68% (strictly speaking) would map to a ‘D’, which may indicate that you are in the bottom quartile of your class.
I do think I look more like Muhammad Ali and Jon Voigt than Yehuda Levi, though. It’s the cheeks.
Note: If I look like Jon Voigt, and you look like Angelina Jolie… does that mean I look like your dad?
MyHeritage doesn’t think you look like my dad. =P
I still think 68% is a low facial match. I’m way out of the academic world anyway. I had to think about what grade that would be for a while.
[...] I was fascinated by the whole MyHeritage.com face recognition thing until I began trying it on some friend’s photos. For example, Jennifer Lung is always being told she looks like Ziyi Zhang. [...]
The site says that only scores above 80% are probable matches. So yeah, 68% is not much.
Teresa…. I am your father.
You always used to say that I was your little sister. I am very confused. I think I will need some therapy.
(But even if you did get Jon Voigt, I didn’t get Angelina Jolie.)
Okay, let’s just say we look like we *might* be related. You’ve met my sister, and even she agreed — you could be some wild offshoot of our family. In fact, I have a cousin who probably could walk in to your parents house, claim to be you, and as long as they didn’t notice that her hair was straight (and not curly), could probably live rent-free off of them for YEARS.
Teresa… Who is your daddy?
[...] I think this is a bit less scientific, but more accurate than MyHeritage’s assessment… [...]
They are totally not kidding when they say a picture from straight on works best
Try it sometime.
