Chad Factor Test

The IDRlabs Chad Spectrum Test (IDR-CST) was developed by IDRlabs as a self-assessment tool designed to explore patterns of social dominance, physical appeal, and effortless charisma associated with the internet meme known as Chad. The concept of Chad originates from anonymous imageboard culture, particularly 4chan’s /r9k/ board (2017), where he is depicted as a hyper-masculine, socially invincible archetype characterized by chiseled features, universal female attention, and zero social anxiety. The IDR-CST is also informed by evolutionary psychology, as developed by Buss (1989), and dominance research by Cheng et al. (2013), which provides a framework for understanding mate value signaling and status hierarchies.

Drawing on these perspectives, the IDR-CST examines how Chad traits manifest in physical, social, and behavioral domains. It explores how individuals might embody Chad as part of a broader dominance style or meme persona, reflecting varying degrees of confidence, attractiveness, and social ease. While inspired by existing research and meme lore, the IDR-CST is an independent project and is not associated with any specific researchers, institutions, or imageboards.

The test provides interpretive feedback across seven core dimensions plus one aggregate that represent common traits observed in Chad experiences:

Jawline Supremacy: Individuals high in this trait possess or fixate on a chiseled, angular jaw that signals genetic superiority. Chad’s mandible is a weapon; mere mortals cope and seethe.

Frame Dominance: This dimension reflects broad shoulders, tall stature, and a V-taper physique. Chad’s frame makes hoodies look tailored and doorways feel narrow.

Social Gravity: Chad warps social fields—conversations orbit him, girls giggle at nothing, normies adjust posture in his presence. Effort is for betas.

Normie Irrelevance: High scorers treat social rules as suggestions. Chad skips the line, gets the table, and never explains. The world bends; he doesn’t.

Aesthetic Aura: From hair that falls perfectly to outfits that “just work,” Chad’s look is effortless. Filters? Lighting? Who needs ‘em.

Sexual Market Value: This trait captures universal desirability—DMs from models, exes in shambles, couples arguing in his wake. Chad doesn’t chase; he chooses.

Cope Resistance: Chad laughs at blackpills, ignores stats, and thrives in chaos. While incels analyze, Chad manifests.

TOTAL CHAD: Aggregate average of the seven facets—your final meme score.

Or at greater length:

Jawline Supremacy

The cornerstone of Chadhood. The jawline is the physical embodiment of dominance—sharp, structured, and unrelenting. It’s the geometry of superiority, cutting through mediocrity like glass. A powerful jaw suggests strength, confidence, and unspoken authority. It’s not just bone—it’s destiny carved into symmetry. The true Chad’s face doesn’t need validation; it commands it. A jawline like this doesn’t just define the face—it defines the hierarchy.

Frame Dominance

Shoulders broad enough to bear the weight of the world. Height that redefines perspective. Posture that speaks louder than any introduction. Frame Dominance isn’t about bulk—it’s about proportion, presence, and effortless physical command. When Chad stands, space yields; when he moves, the air recalibrates. The silhouette alone tells the story: strength without strain, mass without excess. The body itself becomes a statement—Frame is fate.

Social Gravity

Charisma distilled into physics. Chad doesn’t compete for attention—he warps the social field around him. Eyes find him, voices tilt toward him, and energy redirects as if by gravitational pull. This isn’t learned charisma; it’s instinctual magnetism. He doesn’t enter a room so much as the room rearranges itself around his presence. Where others talk, Chad radiates. Reality bends slightly in his favor, and no one can explain why.

Normie Irrelevance

The mundane rules of society apply to the ordinary. Chad is not ordinary. He operates outside the algorithm—exempt from social latency and immune to small talk. Social contracts become suggestions, not obligations. While others seek permission, Chad proceeds. His time is the calendar. His whims, the agenda. He doesn’t play by the system; he is the exception clause. Effort is obsolete when reality self-adjusts.

Aesthetic Aura

Beauty without struggle. Every angle, every outfit, every flicker of light conspires to flatter. Chad’s appearance exists in a constant state of cinematic perfection—effortless, yet deliberate by nature. It’s not fashion; it’s frequency. Even in casual wear, he radiates a curated energy that others spend hours trying to emulate. The camera doesn’t capture him—it submits to him. Aesthetic Aura is the art of looking like art without ever trying.

Sexual Market Value

Attraction is not a choice—it’s a reflex. The Chad doesn’t chase; he is the chase. Desire follows him like gravity follows mass, reshaping dynamics without effort. Partners linger, rivals waver, and attention flocks to him uninvited. His desirability transcends context—whether online or in person, the market has spoken, and the verdict is unanimous. Sexual Market Value isn’t performance—it’s proof.

Cope Resistance

The final mental frontier. Where others spiral into analysis and insecurity, Chad ascends through certainty. He’s immune to defeatism, skepticism, and self-sabotage. Blackpills disintegrate upon contact; statistics are trivia. His mindset is pure motion—forward, inevitable, undeterred. Cope Resistance isn’t denial; it’s transcendence. The Chad doesn’t react to reality—he rewrites it through sheer conviction.

Total Chad

The culmination of all facets—the unified score that measures presence, power, and perception. Total Chad is not merely an outcome; it’s a reflection of alignment with peak archetypal energy. It’s the final verdict on whether one stands among mortals or above them. Post it, own it, or ascend harder—because in the end, every number tells a story, and only one story defines legend.
