This gives it an average score of 3.99 / 5. Making it 120th out of the 342 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 | 3.92 |
| Female | 4.0 |
