Since this is really data about the person I would like it to also be available on the person's profile page. Perhaps in the section containing their personal data.

OK, but I need some other meaningful stats to put in there, first. It can't just be accept rate alone.

The only way for a user to check on his/her accept rate at the moment is to locate one of his older posts!! Commented Feb 19, 2010 at 6:11

It seems odd that other users can find my acceptance rate more easily than I can!– SteBCommented Sep 29, 2012 at 20:13
To answer the question and to add to Jeff's post...
To keep the inevitable support questions like "My calculated rate is wrong" or "What does this percentage mean?" to a minimum, the profile could contain the information which is used to calculate that number.
- Number of questions not community wiki
- Questions older than 3 days.
Questions with at least 1 answer.
...plus # of qualifying questions with an accepted answer = %accepted.
While I am no great fan of the accept rate itself, as long as it's with us I do agree it deserve to be in the user profile. Its natural location is below the badges:
We need the Accept Rate in the User Profile, so that I don't have to go click on one of my questions when I want to see what it is.
