I don't really understand the last graph. Your suppose to have a similar taste to those you are closer to yet Urban and I are quite close on the graph and had a score of 40 where as Captain Caveman and I are further apart but scored a 60. Is this what you mean by errors or am I just reading it wrong?
80? Whoops, must be search and replace error or something >.<

Yep, your observation is part of what I meant about errors. Basically, I couldn't get a very satisfying mds plot. It shows some general trends - f.ex those who are similar to many show up towards the middle of the clutter - but it's not a good fit for everything.

The dendrogram is better!

edit :

Oh, the mds plot shows not just how similar you are in tastes, but it compares all scores with everyone. You may have a low score with someone you're close to, but maybe you're somewhat similar because you share a pattern in similarity/dissimilarity towards other people.
