This is interesting. I find the idea that people want a grade or rating on their skills intensely fascinating. Actually I find people and data science intensely fascinating, so that probably contributed as well.
However my knee-jerk reaction was more of revulsion. "Who are you to apply any sort of label to my abilities based on a presence!" is probably close to my first thought. That and I totally don't contribute to any of the listed hangouts so I knew I'd "suck" immediately.
Perhaps include more "hangouts"? Project Euler for example.

Neat. The existing scoring tool I use shows a bunch more detail/profiles.
I don't like that it opts me into the "looking for work" - seems like I'll get more recruiter spam.

Edoceo, with regards to the "looking for work" field on the profile, we are currently pulling that from people's GitHub profiles with the intent in the future of finding ways to help developers out who are looking for new work. That being said I understand your concern, we hate recruiter spam, so we will be very careful in how we approach the utilization of this data.
Thanks for the feedback!
