My top two relationships are two different accounts for my brother, and they have the same score. I wonder if it knows they're the same person.

#12The same scoring data is used for the "Sort by Relevance" option on the Circles page.

#13Am I the only one getting a 400 error? Based on the posts, it seems it was working only 30 minutes ago.

#14It's not curious that the scores are not commutative; they shouldn't be. For example, I guarantee you that pg is more interesting to me than I am to him.

I removed some parameters from the request out of privacy concerns. You can see those scores if you use a tool like firebug while loading the homepage.

#17It appears that they use gmail and/or gtalk data (frequency?) as input factors; as some of my top scored friends I chat/mail with frequently but are yet not on Google+.

That is certainly an interesting idea.

#19The scores seem to be in the same order as people are shown in the top-right corner, and on https://plus.google.com/circles I only saw 5-6 different score values there, so most people are ranked the same.
I noticed the same ranking too. The people in my top 5, I speak with on Google Talk frequently.

The annoying thing about this is that I was forced to sign up to G+ using a GMail account that I don't use for anything except Picasa. I use my Google Apps account for everything else (email, chat, contacts, etc.), but G+ doesn't support GApps accounts yet...
So the end result is that G+ really has no idea how to rank my relationships with my friends.
