Sometimes the term Q score is used in popular discussions of a person or product’s overall fame, popularity, or likeability. Other popular synonyms include Q rating, Q factor, or simply Q. The Q Score was developed in 1963 by Marketing Evaluations, Inc., a United States company based in Manhasset, New York. To calculate someone or something’s Q Score, Marketing Evaluations surveys a panel of US consumer households about their awareness and opinion of that person or thing. The Q Score is influenced by both people’s familiarity with the subject and their favorability toward it. Q Scores are calculated for the population as a whole as well as for demographic groups such as age, sex, income or education level. Marketing Evaluations claims that the Q Score is more valuable to marketers than other popularity measurements such as the Nielsen Ratings because Q Scores indicate not only how many people are aware of or watch a product, but how those people feel about the product. A well-liked television show, for example, may be worth more as a commercial venue to an advertiser than a higher-rated show that people don’t like as much.
