Hi

If I have 1000 people and their opinion ratings for, say, 100 songs
each (on a scale 1-10) How do I test for those users that have rated
10 1s, 10 2s, 10 3s etc i.e. a flat distribution?
I know I can use standard deviation to  spot those that tend to give
the same rating, or polar extremes, but there's nothing uniquely
identifiable about the SD for these 'flat' users.

Except that they have standard deviation zero, if I have understood
your notation 10 1s, 10 2s, etc., which you did not explain.
