Affinity meter. How it works?
Does anyone know how the imdb affinity meter works? The +xx that appears when you see another user's profile. Is there the formula they use to calculate it anywhere on the web? I have searched a lot but I have not found the formula. Thanks for reading me.

How does "Compared To You" feature work?
If you set your ratings to public, and visit someone else's activity page that also has public rating, you can see an interesting chart on how their tastes compare to yours. Here's our founder Col Needham's activity page.
The page will do a Pearson Correlation between two users ratings and display a statistic about how much your tastes overlap. Note that this feature is under development and the number could change dramatically and you should not make potentially life-altering decisions based on this rather arbitrary number.
It will also display a set of films for which your ratings diverged form each most dramatically.
Please see https://help.imdb.com/ for all IMDb questions and issues.
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for the reply! So the formula should be something like this:
