What about a Conformity Index ?

a conformity index is an idea that i proposed for the suggestions to the BEA road map for 2012. the idea was to have a score of "conformity" in the end of the each member's chart. my original post : i thought this can be intresting to add in the informations in the bottom of each chart: Conformist index (or whatever you can call it): the idea is to see how much a submitted chart by a member looks like the overall chart. for example, the average ranking album of the overall 100 is 50.5 (1+2+3 .....+100/100). which means the absolute conformist score. then a scale of conformity will be created let say for example: 1. 50.5 -100 conformist level 5 2. 100-150 conformist level 4 3. 150 -200 conformist level 3 .... etc and then the average rank album will be calculated for each chart, and the the chart will receive its conformist score depending on the scale previously chosen. what do you think about that ? Norman Bates, albummaster, Eggman/Walrus/Taxman, are a little bit afraid that this may have an effect on peoples charts just in order to appear less conformist. which i agree. it will have a certain effect but not that important IMO. RFNAPLES proposed another term: congruency , which sound too much technical ... well, it's may be not for english speakers. CellarDoor sent me a link in RYM, about a conformity test score, which is very interesting, but the calculation score was different from my idea. the score is determined from the average difference of the albums rating comparing to the averall ratings, and of course the more you're close to 0 , the more your ratings are "conformist". which is another interesting way to do it. but i prefer the average ranking system since this website is more about raking albums. So what do you think about all this ? would you mind to have that kind of score in the bottom of your chart ? would you like to have it but to be just personal ? would you change you chart to change you conformity index ? :-k

good idea, but "conformist" has negative connotations. In order to reduce any influence this index might have on charts you should use a more neutral term/synonym (I don't have any ideas for a replacement atm though).

yeah i agree, i kinda like "congruency" instead but certainly not these anyways : obedience, docility or submission.

Get the whips out!

Yeah, I mean just THINK of it!

OBEDIENCE INDEX
SUBMISSION INDEX

It will sound like it's about FORCING you to include albums from the overall charts, like the overall charts is the master who controls all other charts, not the other way around!
