@LeJunk time for you to throw a party (in the name of science, of course). 
@AutoTripper I guess it depends on if you are rating each category based on the best possible for MDMA, or the best possible in general. For example, MDMA is never going to give as much energy as a straight amphetamine. So, can MDMA ever reach a 10 there? Is 10 reserved for something like methamphetamine? I would also argue that something like "jaw clenching" is variable but not as significant to the perfect roll. Some of the best rolls I recall were not notable because of jaw clenching, and I recall other times I chewed my face up with no empathy.
I would personally like to see another category for sexuality/eroticism or whatever you want to call it. You can have a body high that is not necessarily sexual, so I feel like it is a separate category. Also, what about sociability/desire to connect/desire to share? Is that empathy or is that something different? I feel like empathy/feeling connected to others is a slightly different variable than a desire to talk to others. I have had psychedelic experiences that were very high in empathy, but I had no desire to open my mouth and share anything.
