Community characters personality data for the Statistical Quiz

The SWCPQ can operate as a "What Community character are you?" test, click the link above to access it. This page aggregates the crowd sourced data that the quiz is built upon.

Viewership

The graph below shows what percent of people selected this universe as something they knew well enough to rate characters from by the age of the user (for users between 16 and 60 years of age). 28% 0% 16 20 30 40 50 60

Rating

As part of the survey where they rated characters, users were also asked the question "How do you rate Community?". The distribution of their responses are below.

#	Response	Count
1	It's the worst	8
2	It's bad	22
3	It's okay	457
4	It's good	3000
5	It's my favorite	1335

This gives it an average score of 4.17 / 5. Making it 25th out of the 369 universes in the dataset ordered by rating.

The average rating may be hard to generalize, though; the users of one online personality quiz could not be representative of the population in important ways. And there are some very obvious things you can point to: users of this quiz are more likely to be young and more likely to be women.

There are several different ways that average ratings can be broken down. Here are average scores by gender:

Gender	Average rating
Male	4.25
Female	4.13

The responses to the personality quiz can also be cross referenced with the universe ratings to see how personality affects it. The table below shows the correlation between a user's response to a specific self report item and their rating of this universe.
