Exploration, confirmation, and simulation of numbers.
MooreMetrics is a collection of free data tools built by one psychometrician: recommendation engines for movies, shows, games, podcasts, and books; a live atlas of public webcams; profiles of 16,000 drug compounds and 30,000 species; and a personality test.

The tools
Every tool, by subject.
Every Dive tool works the same way: describe what you want, or name a few things you already like, and get back the closest matches from a profiled catalog. The others are directories, calculators and a personality test.

Who makes this
Tyler M. Moore, PhD
I'm Tyler Moore, a quantitative psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania. By day I design tests and measurement models for clinical research — and, now and then, for astronauts; the rest of the time I point the same methods at movies, cities, fragrances and firearms. Every tool here started as a question I wanted answered properly.
Method
How the tools are made.
Rated, not scraped
Most Dive tools begin with a long questionnaire — dozens of questions about every film, game, podcast or compound — answered at scale by large language models, then checked against each other and against the record.
Structured by psychometrics
The same models used to build clinical tests (factor analysis, item response theory) condense those ratings into a handful of dimensions. That is what lets you describe what you want and get back the closest matches.
Open where it can be
Many of the datasets can be downloaded in full, there is a public API, and the methods are written up as preprints. Where a tool is still experimental, it says so.
Building something? The MooreMetrics API exposes the data behind the tools. Usage is governed by the terms.
