Announcing that oneself is "humble" actually makes him/ her/ them less humble. The more that one self-proclaims "humility," the less humble that person is in reality. This is the essence of a "humble person," which is represented mathematically as follows:
Level of humble = 1 - self-proclaimed humble level
Level of humble = 1 - self-proclaimed humble level
Mike: *calls himself "humblemike"*
Mike's friends: "Mike clearly isn't that humble. According to the humble scale, I think his humble level just dropped to 3%"

Much like the Richter scale which is a measure of the strength of earthquakes. The Cortina scale is used in the measuring of farts. The scale goes from 1 to 10 with 1 being not stinky to 10 being the stinkiest toot ever created. If one does not throw up it cannot be considered a 10.

The attractiveness scale is an outdated concept largely based in sexist objectification of women by which one can objectively rank an individual's physical attractiveness based on a 1-10 scale. An Attractiveness Scale takes the shape of a Bell Curve, meaning the vast majority of people are lumped together in the middle range.
The scale can be understood as follows:
1 - 3 UNATTRACTIVE
The bottom 10% of the scale describes those generally considered unattractive people. In particular people with pronounced deformities or a seriously irregular appearance.
4-7 AVERAGE
The vast majority of people (roughly 80%) fall into the average range. Their looks are typical and not exceptional.
8-10 THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
About 10% are people who are generally agreed to be well above average in looks. These are the people highly sought after for their physical appearance and who are often employed AT THE HIGH END of beauty- focused industries such as fashion modeling, entertainment, and sex work.

On the 1-10 Attractiveness Scale most women think they are "8"s but they are really "5"s. Most men assume they are "5"s no matter where they fall on the scale.
