Scores on the Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test for characters in the first 50 comics uploaded to thewebcomiclist.com after August 12th, 2016.

These are the actual scores I got for various characters on the Universal Mary-Sue Litmus Test. There’s only file one so far, but I’ll probably upload new ones as I score more characters, or make corrections.

Mary-Sue test scores — November 24, 2013

Columns

All the columns like “1.1.a” are the scores on specific questions.

Other than that, they should be fairly self-explanatory, but here are the explanations if you want them:

Format and Medium

How the story is told and distributed. “Format” is more about distribution, and “Medium” more about how you read the work once it’s been distributed.

Author Commitment

Whether it was written by a professional or not.

Keywords

Random other information. Not really very useful at the moment.

Character, Character Gender

What character the scores are for.

Source Work

The particular story. Should match the name in the Works Scored page.

Author, Author Gender

Who wrote the story. Often missing for movies and the like.

1.1.a to 5.18

Question number in the test. First number is the section, second the question number, and the third is the part of the question, if it has parts. 1 is “yes”, 0 is “no”, 0.5 is “complicated”. If you want to look these up, you’ll need an older version of the test (Web Archive)

Score (Original Works and Fan Characters and Newcomers)

What the character scored when using that section of the test. You won’t get these by adding up the score columns, because the questions aren’t all 1 point.

Score Code (Original Works and Fan Characters and Newcomers)

What score range you would have given (corresponds to one of the score descriptions on the test). A! is 0 or less (no description), A+ 0–16, A 17–21, B 21–29, C 30–35, D 36–49 and F 50+
