This is an amended version of the 1-4 scale. This scale removes almost all subjectivity from measuring your attraction to someone. Posts on this site have done their best to set out this scale, but this is the definitive, amended version.
The Basic 1-4 Scale (as already noted by Howie440):
1. I wouldn't and I don't see why anyone would.
2. I wouldn't buy I can see why someone would.
3. I would but I can see why someone wouldn't.
4. I would and I can't see why anyone wouldn't.
A New Addition (the 1-5 scale):
5. I would, I can't see why anyone wouldn't, and I'll be happy if I can just get with them.
Amendments & clarifications:
i) Who can really be considered a 4? - To avoid any subjectivity, keep in mind that: if everyone in the group says they're a 3, they're a 4. This is because if everyone calls them a 3, then everyone would and, therefore they're a 4.
ii) The 5 - More of a theoretical idea than a reality. The 5 is someone whom you would be completely satisfied to get with (make out with) once and never see again. They are so attractive to you that you would happily take the one opportunity and never try to talk to them again.
However - this means that if you do try to talk to, message, or get with them again, they are now by default a 4.
iii) It should also be noted that much like how any 4 must already be an agreed 3, any 5 must already be an agreed 4. This is continuous scale.

Roommate: "Pretty good, I met someone."
Me: "Nice, good looking?"
Roommate: "I'd say 8/10."
Me: "How am I meant to know what that means, use the 1-5 scale."
Roommate: "Oh like a solid 3."
Me: "Glad to hear it mate."

JR's Scale states that infantile instincts multiplied by the magnetic strength of a piercing = to the eye grabbing ability of a boob. Because of the metal in a boob piercing and leftover infantile instinct it is inevitable that people will be magnetically attracted to said piercing.

Get the Quality of Life Scale mug.The attractiveness scale is an outdated concept largely based in sexist objectification of women by which one can objectively rank an individual's physical attractiveness based on a 1-10 scale.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.
