Second-date score: 83 %This is a game, not a measurement. Eight answers each carry a number somebody chose, the numbers are added to a starting 100 and the total is clipped to a range from 0 to 100 percent. Nothing here predicts anything about a real person, and no psychology went into any of it.
Held fixed: How did that text end? With a full stop, Did an ex come up? Once, briefly, How heavy did it get? Small talk throughout, Who paid? Split down the middle, Who did the talking? Roughly even, How did you say goodbye? A hug, How was the laughing? Polite laughing.

There is no science on this page and that is the whole design. Each of the eight answers carries a number, the numbers are added to a starting score of 100, and anything above 100 or below 0 is clipped back to the edge. Five combinations shift the total a little further: three dots plus a long wait costs eight, an ex brought up alongside tears costs ten, real laughing with an even conversation and a hug pays ten.
Where do the numbers come from? Somebody picked them. That is the honest answer, and it is worth stating plainly because a percentage sign is very good at looking like evidence.
Assigning numbers to ordered answers and then adding them up produces something that behaves like a measurement without being one: the ranking may be defensible, the distances between the steps are invention. So the sixty-five point penalty for a repeatedly mentioned ex is not a finding about dating. It is a joke about how much attention that detail gets at one in the morning.
The calculator makes no claim about the other person, none about you, and none about what happens next. It exists because the night after a first date is spent re-reading one text message, and a silly number is a cheaper way through that hour than another read.
No study says a full stop is worth minus fifteen points. The values are a convention carried over from the calculator this page replaces, and they are shown in full in the table above so nobody has to guess.
Ordered categories support a ranking but not a distance, so the gap between two answers has no defined size. Adding such numbers gives something that looks quantitative and is not.
This page makes no psychological claim, offers no read on the other person and diagnoses nothing about you. It is a scoring sheet for a joke.
A very good evening scores far above 100 and a very bad one far below zero, and both get cut back to the edge. Two results of 100 percent can sit a long way apart.
MisconceptionIt said 39 percent, so the odds really are about one in three.
CorrectionThe number is a total of made-up points wearing a percent sign. It is not a probability of anything.
MisconceptionThe ex penalty must be based on relationship research.
CorrectionIt is not based on anything. Every value here was chosen by whoever built the original calculator, which is why they are printed openly rather than hidden in the code.
MisconceptionA hundred percent means it could not have gone better.
CorrectionThe total is clipped at 100, so many quite different evenings land there. The score stops distinguishing once it hits the ceiling.

No, and it does not pretend to be. Every point value was chosen by a person building a joke, and the page shows them all rather than hiding them.
Because the original calculator did, and because a bounded score reads more easily than a raw point total. Treat the percent sign as decoration, not as a probability.
This site allows a calculator eight inputs at most. The two dropped questions were the ones that moved this particular result least, and one of them moved it not at all.
Nothing whatsoever. The page makes no claim about the other person, no claim about you and no prediction about what happens next.
