WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Fitzpatrick Skin Type Quiz - Symptoms and Signs
This free, no-sign-up Fitzpatrick Skin Type Quiz compares your natural pigmentation and past reactions to incidental sun exposure across Types I–II, III–IV, and V–VI. Your highest score shows your strongest affinity; scores within one point suggest a blended pattern. Results include suitable skincare and sun-care priorities, but they cannot diagnose a condition or predict skin-cancer risk. All skin tones can burn and sustain UV damage. Seek medical advice for a severe burn or a new or changing lesion.
