A variant of a scale of one to dead used to judge situations where a minor mistake has occurred that could nevertheless cause the deaths of all involved. Commonly used in space stations, submarines, nuclear power stations and anywhere else that requires a rapid response to minor errors if everyone isn't going to die.
Nuclear Physicist: Fortunately, we managed to contain the situation before it could deteriorate further.
Reporter: Just how bad is it, on a scale of one to OMG we're all gonna die?
Nuclear Physicist: I doubt it's more than a five. Can we finish this conversation in the bunker?
Man, that girl is an 11 on a 1-10 female atractiveness scale
Its a sentence that will completely confuse anyone you say it to.
Me: On a scale of 1-10 what is your favorite color of the alphabet?
You: What?
Can be used for many different things, such as earthquakes, games, other people and stuff like that. For example, Baldi registers 11 on the Richter Scale.
The Principal Of The Thing registers 14 on the Richter Scale, the highest ever measured in gaming history.
This is an amended version of the 1-4 scale. This scale removes almost all subjectivity from measuring your attraction to someone. Posts on this site have done their best to set out this scale, but this is the definitive, amended version.
The Basic 1-4 Scale (as already noted by Howie440):
1. I wouldn't and I don't see why anyone would.
2. I wouldn't buy I can see why someone would.
3. I would but I can see why someone wouldn't.
4. I would and I can't see why anyone wouldn't.
A New Addition (the 1-5 scale):
5. I would, I can't see why anyone wouldn't, and I'll be happy if I can just get with them.
Amendments & clarifications:
i) Who can really be considered a 4? - To avoid any subjectivity, keep in mind that: if everyone in the group says they're a 3, they're a 4. This is because if everyone calls them a 3, then everyone would and, therefore they're a 4.
ii) The 5 - More of a theoretical idea than a reality. The 5 is someone whom you would be completely satisfied to get with (make out with) once and never see again. They are so attractive to you that you would happily take the one opportunity and never try to talk to them again.
However - this means that if you do try to talk to, message, or get with them again, they are now by default a 4.
iii) It should also be noted that much like how any 4 must already be an agreed 3, any 5 must already be an agreed 4. This is continuous scale.
Me: "Hey, how was the club last night?"
Roommate: "Pretty good, I met someone."
Me: "Nice, good looking?"
Roommate: "I'd say 8/10."
Me: "How am I meant to know what that means, use the 1-5 scale."
Roommate: "Oh like a solid 3."
Me: "Glad to hear it mate."

Similar to the dog years to human years scale, there is a scale that coverts the time someone has owned a balloon dog to human years.
The scale is add a zero for every month owned, and that's the age of your balloon dog.
Example scale:
1 month = 10 human years
2 months = 20 human years
3 months = 30 human years
Etc.
There is no difference in the scale between small, medium or large dogs.
Person 1: Aw, your balloon dog is so cute. What's his name and how old is he?
Person 2: Thanks. His name is Mello and he's 1 month old today.
Person 1: Wow. So he would be 10 if we use the balloon dog years scale . Happy birthday mello!
