A scale used to determine that amount of "fucked up" a person is compared to functioning members of society.
That dude is fucking a chicken and fingering his butt!! That's definitely an 8 on the Wilder Scale.
When you suffer from MDD (depression), some days are better than others. You may feel fine one day, but the next day you'll feel like you want to die.
The following is a "scale" of how a depressed person's days can go. To make this less confusing, the person will be referred to as "Bob."
The Depression Scale
LEVEL ZERO: Good days
Bob exhibits absolutely no symptoms of depression, and may even appear quite happy.
LEVEL ONE: Standard days
Bob will appear fine on the outside, but on the inside he feels gloomy and disinterested. Don't expect him to tell you about it, though.
LEVEL TWO: Bad days
Things haven't been going well for Bob. Unlike level one where he just feels down, level two depression is where he actually has a reason to feel the way they does. He will most likely want to be alone, and will deflect all forms of conversation.
LEVEL THREE: Mental Breakdown
Bob has had an absolutely awful day and cannot suppress how he feels any longer. He'll tell just about anyone who's willing to lend an ear, and will probably start sobbing halfway through.
LEVEL FOUR: Self-harm
Bob feels so numb inside, he has resorted to physically hurting himself in order to feel something, anything. He doesn't care how dangerous it is for his health; he stopped caring about himself a long time ago.
LEVEL FIVE: Ending it all
Bob is done. He's been pushed around and bullied enough by the universe, and has decided that the only option left is to take his own life.
Forgot rating a person 1 to 10, instead try using the “Cove” scale whenever you are describing how you would rate another person to a friend.
The cove scale is a rating from 1 - 4
1 - I wouldn’t date them and I don’t know why anybody else would.
2 - I wouldn’t date them but I can see why other people would.
3 - I would date them but I can see why other people wouldn’t.
4 - I would date them but I can see why other people would.

Similar to the Richter Scale, the Gayter Scale is a measure of the homosexuality of an individual.
Damn Cory, that last sentence put you over a 7 over the Gayter Scale.
when a character's most significant/only scaling is against characters they lose to rather than characters they win against or are relative to.
Rengoku has kashimo scaling to Akaza.
Shinobu's best feat is she kashimo scales to Douma in speed.
I hate kashimo scaling, authors should just let their characters win their battles!
1 Don't make a person flip out.
2 You did excellent.
Tipping the scales
