    Wondering how those tickers amongst us come out in their rDev numbers. I looked at mine and precisely half of my 616 reviews were either positive or neutral. I thought I was being overly critical or was on a bad run but I guess it's all evening out. How about you?

    239/407 either positive or neutral. I'm clearly responsible for my share of ratings inflation.

    1162/1934 are in the negative. I thought that I was a more positive reviewer.

    around 560/860 are negative for me. most beers have pretty inflated ratings so i look at this like a good thing

    I don't have a whole lot of reviews, but most are negative. I think the ratings are a bit inflated as a whole.

    Only 25 out of 86 reviews are positive for me. Ratings are certainly inflated.

    Never actually posted a review, just keep notes on my phone. I also like to think I'm a pretty "positive" reviewer

    out of 798 reviews, I hit 0% rDev at 563. Damn I must enjoy beer too much or something :wink:

    Actually, when I first started reviewing I was much more positive about what I was drinking, and now I am much less lenient with the scoring. I usually think about the percentage now that it is a factor instead of letter grades (for example I might like the aromas/appearance etc, but will adjust a bit with the overall section)

    In other cases, my scoring went way up. Like when I revisited Belgians I had when I had no fricking palate to appreciate them.

    Go to the home page, click on your beers, click on rdev. It will arrange your reviews from highest positive to lowest negative rdev.

    thx, I thought maybe there was some type of a counter or something didn't think everyone was going through them and doing it this way.

    Roughly, 68% of my reviews came out below the median. I'm a grumpy beer drinker, what can I say?

    No problem. I think most of us are just nerding out and counting them all!

    Out of 278 total reviews:

    119 positive rdev
    9 zero
    160 negative

    I expected to be either balanced or slightly positive. Even looking it up by date, I have fairly consistently been slightly negative.

    You don't have to count them individually. Just arrange them by clicking rDev and look at the numbers that sort them at the bottom or top (1-50/51-100. etc.). That's how I did it; I saw that I hit negative numbers between 301-350, then just counted from there.
