I'm going to rare them myself just so you see that the accuracy issues I brought up in Is the ESV "essentially literal"? hold here as well.
Great
Bolded in ESV article
Very good
OK
Poor
Unrated
You'll notice how closely we correspond which proves my point about literalness killing accuracy. He doesn't have a distinction between great and good. Also we don't seem to agree at all on paraphrases, but the article didn't really address what quality in a paraphrase meant. So now if I exclude the paraphrases and the unrated, and remove the good vs. great the chart looks like:
15: NCV, TEV, NEB
14: CEV, NET, NJPS,
13: NAB, NIV, REB, NLT,
12: NRSV, NKJV, NJB,
11: KJV, HCSB, TNIV, RSV, YLT
10: NASB, ESV

It's NJPS. I have an error in the way I entered that in the database which I will get around to fixing soon along with a few others. I have used, but have never reviewed or scored the JPS.
Oh, and thanks for the link!
OK I'll fix the original.
