A variant of a scale of one to dead used to judge situations where a minor mistake has occurred that could nevertheless cause the deaths of all involved. Commonly used in space stations, submarines, nuclear power stations and anywhere else that requires a rapid response to minor errors if everyone isn't going to die.
Nuclear Physicist: Fortunately, we managed to contain the situation before it could deteriorate further.
Reporter: Just how bad is it, on a scale of one to OMG we're all gonna die?
Nuclear Physicist: I doubt it's more than a five. Can we finish this conversation in the bunker?

Forgot rating a person 1 to 10, instead try using the “Cove” scale whenever you are describing how you would rate another person to a friend.
The cove scale is a rating from 1 - 4
1 - I wouldn’t date them and I don’t know why anybody else would.
2 - I wouldn’t date them but I can see why other people would.
3 - I would date them but I can see why other people wouldn’t.
4 - I would date them but I can see why other people would.

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.
