How people perceive scores:

  • 10/10: This is the best of the best. Nothing can beat this.

  • 9/10: This is very good!

  • 8/10: Hey, that's nice!

  • 7/10: Uh, it's fine.

  • 6/10: You need to do better than this.

  • 5/10: You need to do better than this.

  • 4/10: Bleh.

  • 3/10: Bleh.

  • 2/10: Bleh.

  • 1/10: Bleh.

  • 0/10: Bleh.

This shows us that linear scoring is bad.

For me:

10/10 - Yes.

9/10 - Almost yes, but not quite.

8/10 - It’s great!

7/10 - That’s nice!

6/10 but in a 3/5 way - Good.

6/10 just as itself - Average.

5/10 - Average, but slightly worse.

4/10 - Close to being good.

3/10 - No.

2/10 - This doesn’t exist, only 1/10 and 0/10.

1/10 - Well, there’s something, at least.

0/10 - No.

I typically use 7/10 as the “average“ rating.

but really 4 is great because its almost halfway to the best thing ever! and 5 is amazing because its halfway. and so on
