How is your collection represented?

[AaronJ]

OK, did a search and didn't find this, but if it already exists ... yadda, yadda, yadda, you know the drill.

Anyways, I was looking at the statistics my collection, and I found the "Relative genre distribution" stats sort of interesting.

Apparently, my collection is Strongly Overrepresented in:

Mystery, Psychological thriller, Supernatural, and Teen

Overrepresented:

Coming of age, Dark humor, Foreign, Heist, Period

While it's Strongly Underrepresented in:

Animation, Anime, Documentary, Family, Holiday, Music, Nature, Other, Short, Sport, War, and Western


I'm not sure how Foreign isn't in the Strongly Overrepresented group, since I have 14 titles there. Anyways, I thought it was interesting to look through.

This is mine.

Strongly overrepresented: Erotic, Horror
Overrepresented: Anime, Supernatural, Teen
Underrepresented: Biography, Western
Strongly underrepresented: Documentary, Music, Nature, Other

Its weird that Erotic is strongly overrepresented as this site says I only have 42 titles in my collection that are considered to be that genre. In comparison, Horror which is also strongly overrepresented, I have 440 titles that fit that genre according to this site.

Looks like my ratios are nearly opposite of some other members, although looking at the percentages cited in the pie-chart, the site software must give substantially different priorities to different genres as far as what it considers "normal" since a 1.4% is "strongly overrepresented" for film noir, as is 3.9% for foreign, 2.3% for western, and 2.1 % for musical, yet 17.6% for drama, 6.8% for romance, and 2.2% for history are considered merely "overrepresented." My epic ratio is 1.5%, my family ratio is 2.5%, my horror ratio is 2.6%, and those all seem to be "normal," yet my Period ratio is also 2.6% and that is "overrepresented."
