"surplus value" -- if used in a Marxist sense
I would like to pitch in and say that "positive score" or "negative score" does not seem right to me. "Mervärden" in swedish is not about points (in my experinece), but rather about adding som kind of value to something, such as a positive emotional connotation or something that gives the object an extra value to someone with a certain need.
However, if "mervärde" is used in a Marxist sense, the term "surplus value" seems to be a legitimate translation.
Regards,
Filip
