I noticed today that hovering over a user's total karma score displays the percentage of positive votes; didn't realize it was in fact a new feature until I saw this post. It came as something of a surprise to me to learn that my karma of 53 is in fact 56% positive, which implies a total of around 440 votes. I wasn't aware of being this controversial.
I wonder if displaying the total positive and negative votes instead wouldn't be more intuitive, though; especially with comments. As Emile pointed out, it would also convey more information.
Edit: I thought there might be something fishy about this...
It's very useful feedback. I have 82% positive. Going through my old comments, I found that a lot of comments I've made that I thought would be controversial actually had 100%. The comments that had a low percentage tended to be the ones where I hadn't expressed myself well. Given that I have a lot of unorthodox views, I found this reassuring.
I'm 85% positive; a little less than I would have guessed but in the same ballpark.
