I think it would matter to some degree, because the profile score speaks about the hubber. If a hubber's score is low, then they are either new to the HubPages, have not written many hubs, or are writing very low quality hubs. If someone writes an interesting hub, and there profile score is low, I'll still read it, though.
Your profile score is a combination of an average of your hubs, and the amount of time and energy that you spend in the hubpages community. The top hubbers usually spend time answering questions, hubhopping, and participating in forums. These things will all add to your profile score.
To Google, it really does not matter. To the hubpages community, some say yes, and some no. It is a matter of opinion. The ones with 100 profile scores are usually the top hubbers though. I have also seen hubbers whose profile scores were very high and they had not written a single hub.
I think it is, as this is the reflection of all the hubs you have, the quality and how engaging are they.
In addition to what the other answers stated:
Your profile score does matter because based on the HP algorithm and system, any profile score under 75 loses all their links which automatically becomes no follow. So in the eyes of both Google and HP your profile score does matter because if Google bots realize that your links are no-follow your hubs will have very low indexing. So yes it does matter. I hope that explanation was clear...I confuse myself sometimes....lol
Yes, I think you want to be at 75 or above. This does something to the links in your hubs that is good for how search engines prioritize their search results.

This system of hubber scoring is really disgusting. Hubbers posting hubs are assigned low hubber score for several reasons but hubbers without publishing a single hub are participating in forums and have hubber scores of >80. Is it enough to post a adult photograph in profile to get assigned a...

I read lots of posts about hubber scores and mine is fluctuating by five etcAs a newbie does it actually matter? Will having a higher score have a massive difference on search engine traffic. What are your views hubbers?

I've spent the last few months experimenting with different hub lengths and layouts on sales hubs and trying to be rigorous about it. It's impossible to do this in a completely statistically valid model with this relatively small number of hubs (about 350), but after trying different styles of...

Can anyone please take a look at my hubs and give me some insight. Highest score was 78 now they are falling. I have 6 hubs none higher than 73 and most in low 60s.

I know that you can choose to display your idle hubs on your profile page, but I don't, because I don't want Google to see them at all and get confused by all those "do not follow." What this means is that my idle hubs are not available for anyone to see, and I have to actively...
