Scale of one to ten
Multi tool use
A scale of one to ten, or scale from one to ten, is a general and largely vernacular concept used for rating things, people, places, ideas, and so on.[1][2] The scale has 10 as a maximum score, as a denotation of exceptionally high quality or of another attribute, usually accompanying 1 as its minimum, although some common variants have a minimum of 0. Such a scale is similar in function to other rating scales, such as star ratings which are typically out of five.
Ratings below 1 or above 10 are common hyperbole. The "up to eleven" idiom is an example of this.
The "Perfect 10" score in gymnastics is an example of 10 on such a scale being used to indicate perfection.
