A Likert scale is a psychometric scale named after its inventor, American social psychologist Rensis Likert, which is commonly used in research questionnaires. It is the most widely used approach to scaling responses in survey research, such that the term is often used interchangeably with rating scale, although there are other types of rating scales.

Measuring the Hedonic and Utilitarian Dimensions of Consumer Attitude
This article reports the development and validation of a parsimonious, generalizable scale that measures the hedonic and utilitarian dimensions of consumer attitudes toward product categories and different brands within categories. The hedonic/utilitarian (HED/UT) scale includes ten semantic differential response items, five of which refer to the hedonic dimension and five of which refer to the utilitarian dimension of consumer attitudes. The authors conducted six studies to establish the unidimensionality, reliability, and validity of the two HED/UT subscales. In reaching the final scale, the authors also develop and implement a unique process of paring down a psychometrically sound but otherwise too large set of items. Nomological validity is established by replacing a typical, one-dimensional attitude toward the brand measure with the hedonic and utilitarian dimensions in a central route processing model. Results suggest that the hedonic and utilitarian constructs are two distinct dimensions of brand attitude and are reliably and validly measured by the HED/UT scale.
The typographic scale
The typographic scale has been used for centuries to choose harmonious font sizes. It has been likened to a harmonious musical scale. But there are *flaws* in those historical values.
Bluesky feed engagement — image-count analysis
The left chart tiers authors by actual follower count (at analysis time). The right chart tiers authors by median likes per post — a proxy for effective reach. Interesting divergence: under the follower definition, medium-size accounts show no 4-img penalty; under median-engagement, the pattern is different.

Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics
The Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics (also known as the Leiden Manifesto) is a 22 April 2015 published comment in Nature that includes a list of "ten principles to guide research evaluation".[1] It was formulated by public policy professor Diana Hicks, scientometrics professor Paul Wouters, and their colleagues at the 19th International Conference on Science and Technology Indicators, held between 3–5 September 2014 in Leiden, The Netherlands.[2]
kurvenlineal — scale fitter
kurvenlineal is a bezier easing run in reverse. Normally you start with a cubic-bezier() and sample values from it, in this case you start with the values: hand it a list of numbers and it finds the quadratic or cubic easing (endpoints fixed at 0,0 → 1,1) that stays as close as possible to all of them (a least-squares fit).

The number next to the speech bubble (comment icon) are an "engagement metric": the sum of boosts and likes. It all makes sense now! https://blog.elenarossini.com/w-social-fictional-metrics-and-the-beauty-of-open-data/ (scroll down to the end of the article for the update)
