Agitation <-> Calm should be turned around
10 points, added 03/25/2008 by mblarsen
Am I the only one who thinks Agitation<→Calm should be turned up side down? The Metric is called: ‘Agitation’ so it should be a measure of that, meaning that when little agitated (calm) the graph should be in the low area and vice versa. If the metric was ‘Calmness’ it would make sense as it is.

Stress metric does has been switched around so that “the bad” is high.

Guess the problem is finding the right word to associate with the feeling or concept you are expressing. That beeing stress and agitated not ? and calm.

Now that I think about it, it would be best (and probably easiest for the developers) to rename the metric to ‘Calmness’ or something like that. That way all the positive (if you call a high sex drive positive) will be at the right side.

Yeah, it’s not necessarily that positives are on one side and vice versa, but rather that the extreme of the metric is at the top, so the graphs make sense when you read them.
The issue was simple for Street, but in the case of Agitation and Calm… I’m not so sure.
