Aren't all of us exceptional or average or mediocre in some areas; how is it possible to net an individual's
unique profile to arrive at a human rating (which may well change positively or negatively over time)?
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyTo assign a qualitative value, I think I am able to say that I have learned 99% of the chess I know on this site, as when I joined in February I really only knew how the pieces moved.
That's an amazing quantitative rating; how would you assign a meaningful qualitative index or rating?

Of necessity, older players have low ratings and younger players can be close to 50%.
