How to Take Your Kibbe Body Type Quiz Photo: The Right Way

I can help you with this draft. Here’s the thing. What would you like me to do with it? Edit it, reformat it, improve specific sections, or something else?

Editor’s Note

Eight years of moderating Kibbe community spaces has taught me one uncomfortable truth: the photo itself is rarely the problem. What I keep seeing in the comments — and what nobody wants to say out loud — is that most people retake their quiz photo a dozen times specifically to *avoid* the answer they already suspect. The “perfect neutral stance, natural light, no shapewear” instruction isn’t a technical requirement; it’s a mirror-removal blocker. The system is quietly asking you to stop performing for the camera and just… exist in it. Which raises the real question lurking beneath every photo tutorial: are you trying to find your type, or are you trying to negotiate with it?

  1. Okay so I literally just retook my quiz after reading this and realized my old photo was doing me SO dirty — I was wearing a baggy hoodie and standing at an angle. No wonder I kept getting confused results lol. I’m in Columbus and my friend and I are planning a little photo session this weekend in natural light, no shapewear, just a fitted tank and bike shorts. My takeaway: neutral posture is everything. I always thought I was “helping” by standing straighter but apparently I was overcorrecting the whole time??
