CFCS and its Components

A primer on the aspects of CFCS

The Cutie Factor Calculated Scale, or CFCS for short, is a standardised measurement tool of the cuteness of a person, animal, thing, or being. It consists of six main traits that are measured quantifiably before being added together to arrive at an overall score. The traits, which this page serves to describe in detail, are as follows:

Media Literacy

Media literacy serves as a metric of intelligence, specifically when it comes to analysis of media like books, movies, or video games. This is notably the catagory the former Cutest In The World, Joan the pig, failed the most in. Many animal cuties lack in this, whereas inanimate cuties tend to excel here.

Bones

Bones is essentially what it says on the tin. The more and the higher quality the bones of a cutie the higher they score. Birds suffer here, because while containing a decent number of bones, the bones are hollow, losing them many points from their density.

Smallness

Again, smallness is an easy catagory. the smaller a cuties is the higher it scores. How is smallness quantified? The mathmatics are complicated, too complicated to be detailed here, but essentially it is the difference in size and mass from the cutie-agreed "big" a 20ft radius obsidion sphere located in and maintained by the SWAG in their Museum of Cutie science.

Bulliability

It is well known how much cuter a cutie can be when exposed to moderate levels of bullying. That is why, to properly track a cuties CFCS score, they must be bullied. Cuties will be exposed to tickling, squishing, teasing, and raspberries in a laboratory setting to measuer their response. Their response is checked against the bully's response, the joy they derive rfrom bullying, to get a cutie's overall bullyability score.

Tossablility

Facts of nature: the further something can be thrown, the cuter it is. While one may think this catagory would unevenly favor things already scoring high in Smallness, the science prove otherwise. Things being small are not always tossable. For example, electrical outlets, small chunks of highly dense material, radioactive materials which would cause harm to the tosser, or saplings who are rooted firmly into the ground by their roots. All these things score highly in smallness but lose many tossability points.

Splorpability

This is the simplest of the traits. A cutie's splorpability is measured and added to their score.
