[Introspective] Re: Re:Scale for the Surverys

[Wayne]

I can appreciate your concern about the scale of the survey. I use a 0-10 scale because it allows for 5 to be exactly in the middle (as opposed to 5.5 for a 1-10 scale). The five categories I provided were only a general guideline that I put together for the sake of brevity. I figured voters could "fill in the blanks" appropriately.

It's clear, for instance, that a 3 is better than a 2 and an 8 is better than a 7, without my needing to specify what each and every number from 0 to 10 means. Voters can decide that for themselves. The important thing, in my mind, is that 0 = "one of the worst PSB songs" and 10 = "one of the best."

Thanks for expressing your concerns.

Wayne

  I agree about the scale. A 10-point scale that only features 5 different categories is kind of pointless. It makes things too vague.
