The study was conducted in the Republic of Altai, one of the Russian regions, with the participation of students of different ethnic and gender backgrounds. The main idea was to clarify the anthropoesthetic preferences when choosing a sexual partner; however, in this work, attention is paid to a characteristic feature of the drawn face -its asymmetry. One of the original projective psychodiagnostic methods was used -face drawing, which made it possible to determine the coefficient of asymmetry of its structural elements and the manifestation of emotions in relation to a potential sexual partner. The algorithm for obtaining a face pattern, drawing reference (cephalometric) points, and a module for calculating asymmetry was described in detail. In addition, the authors made an attempt to show the connection between asymmetry and the space occupied by facial structural elements with the emotional background.
