Get the Dickter Scalemug. 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."

Get the The Jam Scalemug. 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.

Get the The Murph Scalemug. 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.

Me: "Hey, how was the club last night?"
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."
