Exploration, confirmation, and simulation of numbers.
MooreMetrics is a collection of free data tools built by one psychometrician: recommendation engines for movies, shows, games, podcasts, firearms, fragrances, restaurants, recipes, fashion retailers, and authors; a live atlas of public webcams; profiles of 16,000 drug compounds and 30,000 species; and dozens of gamified psychometrics tests.
The Napa Deli (Fairfield, CA) and the 18 restaurants that ChowDive ranks as most similar. Lines connect restaurants whose ratings correlate; heavier lines mean stronger correlation. Click a name to center the figure on it.
The tools
Every Dive tool works the same way: describe what you want, or name a few things you already like, and get back the closest matches from a profiled catalog. The rest are directories, a calculator and a personality test. The counts are read from the catalogs themselves.

How the tools are made
Rated, not scraped. Most Dive tools begin with a long questionnaire — dozens of questions about every film, game, podcast or compound — answered at scale by large language models, then checked against each other and against the record.
Structured by psychometrics. The same models used to build clinical tests (factor analysis, item response theory) condense those ratings into a handful of dimensions. That is what lets you describe what you want and get back the closest matches.
Open where it can be. Many of the datasets can be downloaded in full, there is a public API, and the methods are written up as preprints. Where a tool is still experimental, it says so.

I'm Tyler Moore, a quantitative psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania. By day I design tests and measurement models for clinical research — and, now and then, for astronauts; the rest of the time I point the same methods at movies, cities, fragrances, and firearms. Every tool here started as a question I wanted answered properly.
