For those of you who are unfamiliar with Q Scores, here is The Wrap's description of what a Q Score is and how it works:
Q Score is a widely utilized research tool used by TV networks as well as studios in determining how favorably or unfavorably celebrities are viewed by consumers and here's how it works: Q Scores executive VP Henry Schafer's Q Score team provides a celebrity's name and a brief description to more than 1,800 viewers. The viewers are asked if they recognize the person, and how they feel about him or her.
