The Jam Scale

The jam scale is a method by which a song's quality may be determined subjectively, and ranges from 0-10. A song's jam rating is determined by several factors which themselves range from 0-10, and are averaged to achieve the final jam rating:

1. Verbal approval of the jam from the sample listening party.

2. Physical response to the jam (i.e. headbanging, toe-tapping, dancing, singing along, etc.)

3. Memorability/recognizability of the jam.

4. Broadness of the jam's appeal (e.g. a classical music fan headbanging to death metal).

5. The frequency of these responses based on repeated listening. A jam's rating may not be high at first, but may increase upon repeated exposure.

Due to the subjective nature of the jam scale, ratings can vary wildly from different sample groups. It is not recommended to pollute your own data with another group's, nor theirs with yours.
"Hey, I just found this sweet new track. I'd call it a 7-8 on the jam scale, but I'd have to get some numbers on that."

Trent Scale

The hardest scale in the world. On this scale if you get a 5 that is a 10 on any regular scale. Anytime you are rated on the Trent Scale you know it will be a harsh rating.
“How do I look?”
Probably a 4 on the Trent Scale.”
“Yay, that’s like a 8 on a real scale!!”

1- Roofers and Basement Cribbers
2- Asphalt Crew, Road Crew, Welders

1-10 Attractiveness Scale

The attractiveness scale is an outdated concept largely based in sexist objectification of women by which one can objectively rank an individual's physical attractiveness based on a 1-10 scale. An Attractiveness Scale takes the shape of a Bell Curve, meaning the vast majority of people are lumped together in the middle range.

The scale can be understood as follows:

1 - 3 UNATTRACTIVE
The bottom 10% of the scale describes those generally considered unattractive people. In particular people with pronounced deformities or a seriously irregular appearance.

4-7 AVERAGE

The vast majority of people (roughly 80%) fall into the average range. Their looks are typical and not exceptional.

8-10 THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
About 10% are people who are generally agreed to be well above average in looks. These are the people highly sought after for their physical appearance and who are often employed AT THE HIGH END of beauty- focused industries such as fashion modeling, entertainment, and sex work.
On the 1-10 Attractiveness Scale most women think they are "8"s but they are really "5"s. Most men assume they are "5"s no matter where they fall on the scale.
