Rating

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

# Response Count
1 It's the worst 19
2 It's bad 69
3 It's okay 2802
4 It's good 9582
5 It's my favorite 2099

This gives it an average score of 3.94 / 5. Making it 161st 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 3.99
Female 3.94

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.
