Evaluation Scale:
10 - Perfect. Unsustainable state of affairs. Reserved for
individual episodes and fleeting moments.
9 - Highest sustainable rating for a category.
8 - Highly satisfactory state of affairs. Significant additional
focused effort will be needed to elevate rating to a 9. A source of
pride.
7 - Solid, can't complain, coasting because it's good enough but
not a source of pride.
6 -Weak, but not painful. Frayed around the edges. Can talk
oneself into it being a 7 but it's not easy. Needs work but doesn't
have to be today.
5 - A 6 that's been around a while. Still not intolerable but likely
the issue or the necessary remedial steps are being actively
avoided.
4 - Getting to be intolerable...but not yet. Requires a great deal of
justification and/or denial to continue this number at a sustained
rate.
3 - Things are bad. Very bad. It is not yet life threatening or a
point of no return, but close.
2 - Things are hopeless. You wonder why you exist. There is
much pain. Virtually unbearable.
1 - Fleeting moments of hell. Unsustainable level of displeasure.
