Well the best way is to use calipers, but most people haven't got em. So just go through measurements again and again and average the trials. Furthermore, this is solely a measurement of metrics, and not other traits, so a single thing wrong can change a lot,.

[Mechanolater]

Re did it once and ended up most similar as that last guy. Also I don't trust my own measurements because it makes no sense for me to look like a Pole or Lithuanian.

If you've got the time, you can go about it the way I did. Throughout the week, I spent about ten minutes a day just quickly going through the measurements. Earlier, I just used the repeating numbers. Those that were off were only off by five millimeters, at most, but even that's enough to change one's result.

[Dacul]

I am typical dinarid.
As I am getting older my CI raises,because my head is getting wider.
(at the moment around 85 CI).
Got brown hair,light brown eyes,187 cm tall,hard boned,some red thread of hair in my beard and a nose long of over 5cm,not as height lol,but as you look from profile.
I am also not feeling well if you take me too far away from mountains,I am starting to have sleeping problems and so on.
The dacian ancestry I got prevailed over other genetics.
Your cephalic index is: 85.4 (brachycephalic)

Your classification is Dinaroid (using Euclidean distance), Dinaroid (using Mahalanobis distance), and Dinaroid (using Cosine similarity).
(whatever,text book dinarid should have been a little more than 0.71 on cosine distance - like 0.85 - ideally is 1,but is not such a thing possible).

i did measurements using normal ruler not by caliper so chances of error are there....

My facial index was quite wrong. Had to update, some details, like minimum frontal (too wide) & facial height (too long).

Cosine Similarity:
Closest to Plate 29, Figure 6 (similarity = 0.68)
The Aran Islander shown in this figure is relatively brunet for his group, and has the exceptionally low auricular head height of 110 mm. He illustrates the principle that the low-headed factor is borne by the least blond element in the Aran population. Note the convergent temporal planes and the cylindrical profile of the vault when seen in the front view. This feature, in less exaggerated form,.is a cranial diagnostic of the Keltic Iron Age type in general.

Thinner the skull, lower the CI..My skull is more similar the left size. But Scots on average had the thinnest skulls in Britain.


The higher Facial Index, indicates the longer face. The British Isles comes out top in Europe.
