I Came Up With This Three-way Table To Help Me (and Now You, If You Want) To Rate Things Out Of 5 Stars.

I came up with this three-way table to help me (and now you, if you want) to rate things out of 5 stars. I was thinking of books and films when I made it, but you can probably use it for other stuff.

A three by three table (excluding row and column headings).

The columns are labelled:
Nothing really wrong with it
A few things wrong with it
So many things wrong with it

The rows are labelled:
Lots of awesome things
A few awesome things
Nothing really awesome

The cells inside the table are labelled as follows:
Lots of awesome things/nothing really wrong with it: 5 stars
Lots of awesome things/a few things wrong with it: 4 stars (spicy)
Lots of awesome things/so many things wrong with it: 3 stars (spicy)
A few awesome things/nothing really wrong with it: 4 stars (bland)
A few awesome things/a few things wrong with it: 3 stars (mild)
A few awesome things/so many things wrong with it: 2 stars (spicy)
Nothing really awesome/nothing really wrong with it: 3 stars (bland)
Nothing really awesome/a few things wrong with it: 2 stars (bland)
Nothing really awesome/so many things wrong with it: 1 star

The idea is that you rate the thing on how much stuff you loved and how much stuff you hated, and those things weight against each other. There's only one way to get 5 stars or 1 star, so those should end up as the rarest ratings, wtih 3 stars being the most common.

'Spicy' means that the thing inspires emotion, whether positive or negative, while 'bland' means it doesn't affect you much either way.

An example of a 3-star (spicy) - for me personally - would be the Twilight series, because there's plenty of garbage in there but also some things that are like crack to me. I can't think of an example of a 3 star (bland) because by nature they don't stick in the mind.

(This also assumes giving 0 stars isn't allowed. That'd throw it out of whack...)

In case anyone is having a bad night:

edit: apparently necessary disclaimer that everyone and their mother knows about these websites, they can be found through any major search engine, and not talking about them on tumblr dot com won't keep them "secret" because the feds are already more than aware of them.
