My wife's "assimilation score" is an order of magnitude higher than everyone else's (7 figures). My sister's is an order higher than everyone but my wife (6 figures). The next guy on the list is a dude who attended a bachelor party I threw for a friend five years ago whom I haven't spoken to since.

On the graph? The person I'm closest to is indeed someone I spend a fair amount of time with, but who has never posted or commented or liked anything to my Facebook nor me to his. Make of that what you will.

Good! For 75% of the people, their spouse is the #1. They did research and found out that people who don't have their SO as the number one have a 50% higher chance of breaking up. High assimiliation score means that that person is very important in your network, as a link to people you don't know directly:

    It’s the people you don’t know very well in your life who help ideas, especially new ones, spread.
