The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Andy Spade no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ · coarse estimate ≈4.5/5 from 6 produced feed exchanges record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q And meantime, Andy, you were, you were back in Tempe at Arizona State University?

A I was back in Tempe. I was struggling with a few required courses. I, I think I had more credits than necessary, but there were a few that I couldn't get through, but I did start an advertising agency my senior year in college, and so I, I started trading ads for bartering food, and so I'd, I'd go to a restaurant, for example, and I'd, I'd bring in the ad that they had running in the local paper, And I would show it to them and say, I think I can do better if I come back and show you a better version of this. Will you either pay me in food or give me a few hundred dollars? I had like 10 takers, so I ended up with 10 accounts. Um, I mean, things were going well.

Q So Andy, did you, did you actually land a job in, in advertising?

A I did. I was interviewing in a lot of programs like Y&R and Ogilvy and May there, but my portfolio didn't reflect the kinds of accounts that they were working on. Cars and IBM. But one day I was walking through Grand Central Station and, ah, a young man in a suit pulled me over. I was carrying my portfolio and he said, what do you do? And I said, well, I'm looking for a job as a copywriter. And he said, do you have a minute? And I said, sure. He said, I'd love to look at your portfolio. And we stopped in Grand Central Station. He went through my portfolio And he said, I think I might have something for you. I'm a recruiter. Just happened to see me walking through Grand Central Station.
