METRIC FIT
Metric priority test
A stock page shows more than ten numbers at once, but people actually look at only a few. In 12 choices this test measures which numbers drive your judgment and puts those weights on the same scale as the weights Jupick uses for its grades.

If you could see only one screen of numbers for a company you have never seen, which would you open first?

You weight earnings 7 percentage points more lightly than the Jupick grade.
Why weights instead of a type
Investor style tests usually fold the answers into one type, and something disappears in the folding. Someone who puts earnings slightly first and someone who puts it overwhelmingly first get the same label, and what they look at second is recorded nowhere.
So this test returns the weights of four axes instead of a label. The axis that came out highest is explained first, and what percentage each of the other three got stands on the same screen. People do not look at only one thing, and what they look at second often decides the actual judgment.
The result shows Jupick’s scoring weights too
Jupick gives each stock a grade. That grade is calculated from earnings at 40%, financial health at 35% and dividends at 25%. The valuation axis, represented by PER and PBR, is shown on the stock page but contributes 0% to the grade, not a single point.
Until now these numbers were not written on any Jupick page. From the grade badge alone there is no way to know what it weighs heavily and what it does not measure at all. The result page draws these weights in the same bars right below the weights you set. However far the two lines diverge is the part the grade badge cannot answer for you.
A gap does not mean you are wrong, nor that the grade is. But if you chose a stock because its grade was high, it is better to know that the judgment followed the weights above rather than your own standard.
How the weights are calculated
There are 12 questions, all either-or. Pairing the four axes two at a time gives six pairs, and each pair is asked twice to make 12 questions. So each axis appears exactly 6 times, and no axis gains an advantage by being asked more often.
The axis of the option you choose gets 1 point, and at the end the four scores are converted so that they add up to 100. Those are the weights. Even if you keep choosing one axis, it stops at 50%, because the other 6 questions where it does not appear always go to another axis.
The questions do not name the axes. If words like earnings or financial health were attached to the options, people would answer with what they were taught to look at first rather than what they actually look at first. The axis names appear for the first time on the result page.
What the four axes measure
| Axis | What it looks at |
|---|---|
| Earnings | how much of its revenue a company keeps as profit, and whether that profit is growing |
| Financial health | how much debt a company carries and whether it can handle its immediate payments and interest |
| Dividends | how much of its profit a company returns to shareholders, and for how many years it has kept doing so |
| Valuation | how many times its earnings and net assets the current share price values the company at |
When not to trust this result
What this test measures is the priority you report yourself, not what you actually did in your account. The two often differ. If you chose financial health in the questions but have in fact followed stocks that were rising, that gap does not show up in this result.
There is no conclusion that one axis is right. The four axes look at different things, and whichever axis you put first comes with a blind spot it cannot see. That is why the result page writes out each axis’s blind spots at the same length as its explanation.
And the weights are the result of today’s answers. Answer again after the market has been badly shaken and different numbers are natural. Do not read the values as a fixed personality.
