Similar to the hotness 1-10 scale but instead measures uniqueness/coolness on a 1-14 scale. 8-14 means something is basic while 1-6 means something is acidic.
Something that's basic is expected. A basic person tries to go out of their way to be like others and impress them. Ex: hipsters. Hipsters are actually very high on the scale since they try so hard to be unique they actually end being basic. They hover around the areas of 10-11. Once they start carrying around typewriters and portable record players there's no going back. Going beyond pH12 starts to border on the territory of being a total sheep. At a 14 it's as if they have transcended human life to become pure energy... to heat up Starbucks macchiatos.
Becoming acidic is not easy. First one must pass the Wall of 7. 7 is like water: going with the flow. This means that they'd have to go from being basic, then move past the stage of being a "free spirit"
going with the flow type of person and finally get to a point where they have a real personality.
Once you reach the acidic part of the scale you care more about developing yourself than popularity. Helping others = acid. Helping out others to flex and gain popularity = major basic points. Someone truly acidic graduates with a pH3 Degree. pH3's are the best at creating trends. There is no one known to have become one with the pH1. If you find a pH1 please capture them and send them to a laboratory for scientific analysis!
How do you think she stacks up on the ph Scale?
Hmm... Northface jacket, Patagonia backpack, Camelbak water bottle, Lulu lemon and the rose gold iPhone? Solid 8...actually scratch that...9.
