In the conversation ability, he got 2 points and actually if the full score was from 10 he would deserve it.
For personality, he got 2 points and that was for " I love receiving mail. Why don't you send me an e-mail with lots of interesting attachments. My address is elbot@elbot.artificial-solutions.com" and also "At this point I must intercede on my own behalf. Aren't robots allowed any personal space?".
Elbot made 16 points.
Note: Elbot ignored many questions in order to make his own conversation and actually he is very good in running a conversation in his own way, but rules are rules so he deserves 16 points.
