poll: Would you enjoy an optional rating tool that would assist you in rating a book when having trouble deciding how to do so?

The features of this proposed optional rating tool are as follows:

1) The rating tool would be completely optional for each individual user and is accessed by a collapsible link within the rating/review window.
2) The feature is proposed as an added tool that may enhance the enjoyment of a variety of Goodreads users. We believe the tool could enhance the critical thinking process in relation to reading, ratings, and writing reviews and promote more writing of reviews AND on the other hand allow a quick critical analysis of books for those who don’t wish to spend lengthy amounts of time writing reviews – whether they don’t have the time or they are experienced reviewers no longer interested in written reviews.
3) The rating tool would not replace the current 5 star rating system or reviews.
4) The itemized score would not be included in the Goodreads average book scores.
5) Even if you use the rating tool, you are not obligated to use the itemized score - you still have the option to pick your own 1 to 5 score.
6) A list of suggested criteria will auto-populate but are strictly suggestions only. Each user can customize the criteria to include the criteria they'd like to consider when rating a book.

Example: (please note that the proposed format would have 1 to 5 rating boxes to select from for each category listed below)

To Kill a Mockingbird
Memorable 5
Socially Relevant 5
Informative 2
Unique 5
Thought Provoking 5
Well Written/Expressed 5
Entertaining 5
Inspires Visualization
3

Sparks Emotion 5
Life Changing 5
Total 4.5 Stars (45/10 = 4.5)
