A follow up to on my prior question about "manca".
I was told, "mancómetro is a very useful word. It means a measure by which one knows, or does not know, how he/she is adversely affecting/relating to others/groups. The lower the number, the more out-of-reality this person would be."
Any comments or futher details? Thank you.

Other possibility: looney tunes scale, but that's in gest.

Comment: "thank you. Particularly useful to know that it's a "word" that requires a "guess" -- that is, not formally a word."
