What do you think is the correlation between your Uber rating and how decent of a human being you are?

Absolutely no correlation.

Mine went down when I started using it for business. Either Uber drivers don’t like consultants or I’m not as friendly on my way too from work during the week. My money is on the latter, my mind is probably preoccupied and I’m not an interesting passenger.

I’m a 4.78 and I’m super self conscious about it since all my friends are 4.9s. I’ve literally started to question how I present externally at work and other social interactions because I think I’m personable / friendly but Uber data indicates otherwise. I think Uber ratings provide a fascinating datapoint in something that is impossible to study: what do people think about you on first impressions

Like 5 years ago, I ordered an Uber for my now wife and her friend when we were out. Her friend puked in the Uber and I was charged for it since I ordered. Is that still bringing down my rating.

What are other 🐠 at?

They’ll ding you for things that have nothing to do with your personality - like your house or apt being hard to find, taking fares that are short or are to areas they don’t want to go, using the time to work/talk on phone instead of chatting the driver up. I wouldn’t read too much into it unless you are well into the low 4s.

Here’s the thing kids: the MORE rides you take, the lower your score is likely to be. The drivers can’t give half-star ratings, so if half the time you’re a 5, and half the time you’re a 4, you’re score is going to settle in around ... 4.5.

Drivers will give you a 4 if you don’t tip. Or if you make them get out of the car and help you with your bags.

Don’t sweat your ratings. It’s a random number that makes no difference in who you are against a scale that doesn’t have clear guidance.

More of a correlation by country, uber rating gone up by 1dp in US vs UK in 3 months

I personally think the correlation is best described by a copula where if your rating is extremely low, it tells you something about yourself, but above some threshold there is little to no correlation.

4.74 here...up from 4.7 last month. My friends (non consulting & use Uber significantly less) all 4.9+ look at me like “😨 how. you monster.” (I swear I am not 😇) My apartment is hard to find though and relatively close to the airport so encounters with drivers who are blatantly frustrated with the short trip are pretty common. (^to A1’s point above)

0. Ratings very racist.

The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??
