Psychological Uses of the PM Rating System The Information Age facilitates our global access to mental stimulation, satisfaction, and self-actualization. The PM Rating harnesses this contemporary potential to increase the brain's range of choice, unifying its mood and self-determination. For this purpose, the PM Rating offers "psychological guidelines" to consider... If your brain is depleted of serotonin, is depressed or anxious, it seems reasonable for you to resist "antagonistic" emotional-stimuli. Cinematically, this means skipping films rated 5 or less, especially in the Sustained Mood category. It is also best to steer clear of male-targeted media, to distract from frustration or anger. Instead, seek PM Ratings of 57 or better, preferably Es or Fs. If you consider yourself to be angry or moody, seek higher-ratings in Protagonist Likability. This means skipping films rated 5-or-less in the Protagonist Likability score. Instead, seek PM Ratings of 75 or better, and once again -- preferably Es or Fs. Additional, more-detailed guidelines will follow in future installments of this page. For a list of films and their PM Ratings, click here. For a list of TV shows and their PM Ratings, click here.
