How would “the most beautiful woman in the world” award be devised?

Asked by ipso (4481points) June 10th, 2010

This is where people jump in with all four claws (tentacles?) with the idea that there is no such thing as “most beautiful”, as the notion changes from moment to moment in a single individual, much less a diverse society.

That’s not the question.

If you were given a job to create a model that quantitatively force-ranked women annually, and ultimately awarded a formal annual prize [accountability], how might one go about it? What kind of an enumerative model or process would you devise, that is – as best can be – fair, straight forward, and accurate? Are there “best practice” examples already of how this is done “right”?

If you turn down the job, your boss (a woman) will simply pass you over and give it to someone far less sensitive and intelligent than yourself.

Will the model hold if we switch to force ranking men?
