I was thinking about this today, and I'm wondering how other folks approach the whole giving things a score out of ten thing.

For me, 5 and 6 tend to be the tipping points. 5 is on the bad side of average, 6 is on the good side, basically just ok. 7 is good, 8 is very good, 9 is pretty awesome, and 10 is near to perfect.

I don't believe in giving 0 or 11, and I only do whole numbers, no .5, as a rule.

So what about you?

Interesting :)

I feel like I want to ask questions, but I don't have anything coming to mind, beyond feeling I want to know but don't know where to start. If that makes sense.

But I do find your method of rating very interesting.

Well, if you figure out where to start, ask away. The problem I have with numbers is that I agonise- is it really a 6, or is it a 7? Without a number to point at, I can't do that- I can only say "I feel about here" and look at previous dots- and say "I feel a bit better than yesterday's dot". In the end, trends matter more than if I pick a 6 or a 7.
