About the calculator

Purpose
The goal of ArkPeople's social value calculator is to provide you with an estimate of your social value. In contrast to other human value calculators, ArkPeople's calculator is aimed at measuring your value as a member of a family, community, society or humanity, and not how valuable some people may believe you to be due to your good looks, money or position.
Algorithm
The algorithm underlying ArkPeople's social value calculator follows one simple rule: people who contribute to making other people's lives better have higher ArkPeople value. Learn more about the algorithm.
Examples
To understand the algorithm used to calculate your ArkPeople value, consider the following historic figures with very high ArkPeople values:
  1. Johannes Gutenburg - thanks to his printing press, knowledge can be propagated more easily
  2. Isaac Newton - due to his significant contribution to science and technology
  3. Wright Brothers - thanks to them, people can travel further and faster
  4. Alexander Fleming - the man who first discovered penicillin
  5. Jimmy Wales - WikiPedia's founder has made a significant contribution to free knowledge propagation
On the other hand, the following people have a very low ArkPeople value, despite their potential great influence on our lives:
  • Hitler
  • Stalin
  • Mao
  • ...
  • greedy bankers
