Your UserProfile __str__ function is returning a User object, not a string. It needs to return a string, since it is called to produce a string representation of your Model. If you want to return the string representation of the associated user, return str(self.user). > The score is an integer, but it seems that the template is expecting a > string, when I definitely don't want it to be a string. > The error you have posted has nothing to do with score.
