The Jam Scale

The jam scale is a method by which a song's quality may be determined subjectively, and ranges from 0-10. A song's jam rating is determined by several factors which themselves range from 0-10, and are averaged to achieve the final jam rating:

1. Verbal approval of the jam from the sample listening party.

2. Physical response to the jam (i.e. headbanging, toe-tapping, dancing, singing along, etc.)

3. Memorability/recognizability of the jam.

4. Broadness of the jam's appeal (e.g. a classical music fan headbanging to death metal).

5. The frequency of these responses based on repeated listening. A jam's rating may not be high at first, but may increase upon repeated exposure.

Due to the subjective nature of the jam scale, ratings can vary wildly from different sample groups. It is not recommended to pollute your own data with another group's, nor theirs with yours.

"Hey, I just found this sweet new track. I'd call it a 7-8 on the jam scale, but I'd have to get some numbers on that."

Trent Scale

The hardest scale in the world. On this scale if you get a 5 that is a 10 on any regular scale. Anytime you are rated on the Trent Scale you know it will be a harsh rating.

“How do I look?”
“Probably a 4 on the Trent Scale.”
“Yay, that’s like a 8 on a real scale!!”

toolbox scale

The Toolbox scale is meant to best represent the jobs most suitable for societal misfits within Canadian industry. Some jobs are simply meant for the more unconventional types of personality. While these people in many cases cannot hold down more normal jobs in society, in many cases they thrive in their ideal occupation. The list is not all inclusive, and only encompasses positions where observation based data has been collected.

Toolbox Scale in ascending order, with a higher level of misfit at the top.
1- Roofers and Basement Cribbers
2- Asphalt Crew, Road Crew, Welders
3- Pipeliners, Oilfield Camp Staff
4- Tree Planters, Drillers
5- Seismic Workers, Well Completions Crews, Wireline crews
6- Vacuum Truck & Picker Operators, Earthworks & Heavy Equipment Operators

8- Pipefitters, Boilermakers, Iron Workers
9- Electricians, Land Surveyors, Carpenters, Warehouse Personnel (incl Shipper-Receivers)

10- Truckers, Bus Drivers, Industrial Health & Safety Workers

Those seismic workers are weird, but they rank higher than tree planters on the Toolbox Scale.
