The Kinsey Scale is an apparatus, somewhat resembling a standard bathroom scale, which quantifies whether its user is light in the loafers. Before deployment, each Kinsey scale is taken to gay saunas and drag queen shows to be carefully calibrated, based on this standard:
0 Exclusively heterosexual
1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual
4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
6 Exclusively homosexual
The result, on a scale of zero to six, is displayed using the six colours of the Baker pride flag. If the user is entirely light in the loafers, all six colours will illuminate like a rainbow; if the user is entirely straight, the whole display fades to monochrome.

I picked up a used Kinsey Scale in a local department store as part of an ongoing promotion, in which clients are encouraged to collect Kinsey points and redeem them for valuable prizes. Apparently Ellen, the lady on the telly, managed to collect all six Kinsey points and redeem them for a toaster oven - so maybe that's the incentive I should try next?
There's also the Klein Scale, which runs from one to seven on multiple factors, including whether the user is wearing Calvin Klein or BumChums as undergarments. A bit more complex, but it seems to have a few interesting possibilities.

A Rating Scale ranging from 1-10 used to judge the attractiveness of a female based on how good she would look if she was going to prom.
To calculate a Prom Night rating one must account for professionally done make-up and hair. Spray-tan, self-tanner and other skin enhancing products must be accounted for as well.
Normal Female 1-10 Scale Conversion rate: +2 per point.
Jenny real world: 6
Jenny at prom: 8

Tom: Yeah, I met Jeff's sister the other day.
Mike: Oh yeah? Is she pretty good looking?
Tom: Eh, she's probably an 8 on the Prom Night Scale. .
Mike: That's not too bad if you see her at a wedding.

When you suffer from MDD (depression), some days are better than others. You may feel fine one day, but the next day you'll feel like you want to die.
The following is a "scale" of how a depressed person's days can go. To make this less confusing, the person will be referred to as "Bob."
The following is a "scale" of how a depressed person's days can go. To make this less confusing, the person will be referred to as "Bob."
The Depression Scale
LEVEL ZERO: Good days
Bob exhibits absolutely no symptoms of depression, and may even appear quite happy.
LEVEL ONE: Standard days
Bob will appear fine on the outside, but on the inside he feels gloomy and disinterested. Don't expect him to tell you about it, though.
LEVEL TWO: Bad days
Things haven't been going well for Bob. Unlike level one where he just feels down, level two depression is where he actually has a reason to feel the way they does. He will most likely want to be alone, and will deflect all forms of conversation.
LEVEL THREE: Mental Breakdown
Bob has had an absolutely awful day and cannot suppress how he feels any longer. He'll tell just about anyone who's willing to lend an ear, and will probably start sobbing halfway through.
LEVEL FOUR: Self-harm
Bob feels so numb inside, he has resorted to physically hurting himself in order to feel something, anything. He doesn't care how dangerous it is for his health; he stopped caring about himself a long time ago.
LEVEL FIVE: Ending it all
Bob is done. He's been pushed around and bullied enough by the universe, and has decided that the only option left is to take his own life.

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."

The scale which defines women on a scale. However, its almost always used incorrectly. The common use is to rate her with 1 number, 1-10. Therefore a 6 is nearly a 7, a 9 is nearly a 10, etc. In reality, she ia supposed to be grades twice, of not more! The PROPER scale grades her once from the neck up, and again from the neck down, then mutiply the 2 numbers...so actual reading is from 1 to 100!! And women with 2 9s is much further above 2 8s! You can get an ever better yet more complicate scale using 3 ratings.
I was with a couple 40s on the 1-10 female attractiveness scale last night! Unfortunately, both were 10s for bodies...so you pretty much wanna put bags on their heads! Awsome. But ughh!
