Just for fun....

I'm curious why the score values are so different for different users, and what they are supposed to mean.

Why are you still up?

He's usually up pretty late these days. I bet you could even convince him to do some kind of gaming off the cuff, even if it was after midnight on most nights.

Yeah, she's proably right.

I was still up because I wasn't yet tired, and I didn't have anything in particular I had to do in the morning.

i was thinking that is was a value based on how many interests in common you have with the people who also have the interest it is suggesting.

damn, you have some high scores there.

[attutle]

I wondered if it might have something to do with how closely nested similar interests are, that is to say how many of the people I share interests with all share interests in something I haven't listed.

That is just...odd... My highest score was a 2. This now makes me really wonder exactly how they coded this, as I do with most memes that have highly variable outputs.

[elegantelbow]

Wow! I hadn't seen a score has high as 60! (You'll remember that my highest score was 6).

[attutle]

Right, I remembered that and figured you'd want to see how much variability the scores have, but the delay to run the report was so high I didn't think you'd have the time/patience to look at anything other than your own account.
