<p>There are many statistics computed on the StackExchange websites that could be used to evaluate how well a person is performing at answering questions.  We have (1) total reputation points (2) reputation points per question posted (3) number of answers accepted (4) percentage of answers accepted, (5) number of answers downvoted (as a negative) (6) percentage of answers downvoted and more.  What do you think are the best measures and why do you think they are the best.  High reputation point totals can be indicative of good answers but they may also be affected by the activity level or the amount of time the individual has been posting on StackExchange.  Points per question may be better in that regard but number of upvoted on a question can be low just because the question was not interesting and only a few people looked at it.  If the OP accepts the answer maybe that should carry some weight.  Let me know what you think.</p>
