Responsiveness is how many message you have replied to as a percentage of the total messages you have received, it is used in the fun searches and recommendations, so having a high response rating will increase the amount of messages and viewings you recieve. It is hoped this encourages user to be more responsive typically anything over 75% is pretty good. It is however next to impossible to receive a total of 100%. It is calculate each time you enter your messages page. If takes into account the messages currently in your inbox and the messages you had previously received. Also if you report a message as spam our system will see this as you having replied to the message and will adjust your responsiveness rating, it is hoped this encourages users to report spam.
