While the statements are given in random order, they don’t vary among participants.Īll I had to do was say that I believed team sports build character and that people go out of their way to do favors for me on the Hot/Crazy Matrix quiz and I was placed at 10 on the hot axis. The quiz, which is offered by a website called IRD Labs, offers 20 statements like, “I have tried online dating or mobile app dating, without getting many matches,” and “I have repeatedly destroyed my possessions or thrown out valuable things that I own because I felt I was worthless and did not deserve them.” Respondents then answer on a sliding scale whether they agree or disagree. The quiz version going around is a gender-neutral option that removes the slur and suggestion that a person’s hotness is correlated with their craziness, but other aspects of the matrix remain. Many of these versions also have a zone beneath “unicorn,” where a woman is eight to 10 on the hotness axis and less than four (or zero, in other words) on the craziness axis. Notably, some versions of the matrix also posit that no woman is beneath a four on the crazy axis, and it actually begins at four instead of zero. Inherent in this matrix is the belief that the hotter the woman is, the crazier she’s allowed to be - and moreover, the crazier she’s likely to be. A woman of that hotness who is beneath a two on the craziness axis is said to be a unicorn, and essentially doesn’t exist. For example, any woman beneath a five on the hotness axis is in the “no-go zone,” regardless of craziness, while a woman between a five and an eight on the hotness axis and a five and an eight on the craziness axis sits in the “fun zone,” so long as her craziness isn’t higher than her hotness. Historically, the matrix has presented various “zones” to reference. On Twitter, some are saying Heard sits at the upper right corner of peak crazy, peak hot on the matrix. Lately, however, it’s become popular once more thanks to both an online quiz that identifies your location on the chart and the discourse surrounding the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial.
This matrix has been passed around online for years, gaining prominence after being explained in detail in the third season of How I Met Your Mother in 2007, as well as in viral YouTube video and meme form. Place these traits on a chart, where the X-axis serves for craziness and the Y-axis represents hotness, and you’ll have what’s known as the Crazy/Hot Matrix. Similarly, a woman who is, say, 6 out of 10 hot may compensate for her missing hotness points by being only 4 out of 10 crazy. A woman who is 10 out of 10 crazy is tolerable to date if she is 10 out of 10 hot, too. There’s a simple matrix, potentially originating from the internet, How I Met Your Mother or some combination of the two, that states that a woman’s appeal is based on her hotness and craziness alone.
