BPPI - Biscuit's Perceived Pretension Index:
a = subject's social capital, as perceived by you
b = your social capital, as objectively speaking as possible
c = subject's pretended social capital
d = subject's actual social capital, seen objectively as possible
e = subject's use of unjust reflexivity (eg. false modesty)
f = subject's use of just reflexivity (eg. sincere self-deprecation)
g = hrs display of pretension
h = hrs visibility
e:f and g:h should be treated as ratios when coming up with your figures.
Enter a, b, c, d, e, f, h as values 1-10 (10 is high)
Enter g using values 0-10
You will get an entirely objective, foolproof reading of the subject's pretentiousness (presented as a % of absolute pretentiousness).
The formula is VERY sensitive. Bear in mind that in calibration tests, Stephen Fry received a reading of 0.1% pretentious and Dissensus only 7%!
The modulus function permits the reading of inverse snobbery.
Interpretation of readings:
0 - unpretentious (probably)
<0.01% - largely unpretentious
0.01-0.9recurring % - pretentious
>1% - highly pretentious
I apologise retrospectively in advance for the quality of my maths.
