Four horror fans and one beginner tested my game: whose opinion should count?

Friends who test your scary game are usually fans of scary games, but your players may not be. This entry reweights the ratings to match the audience you actually expect, and says what to do when a whole group of players is missing from your tests.

Why this works

An opinion is only useful for the people who will actually play. If your testers are not a fair picture of your audience, the plain average answers the wrong question, so you give each group the weight it will have among real players.

When not to use it

Do not use it when you have no honest guess about your audience, or when a group has only a single tester, because the weights then give one voice great power. First find more people from the group that matters most.
