Hey there!
I’m accessing certain user profile and the likes received number there is totally different to what is shown when I go to admin’s view of that profile and scroll down to the stats section.
Here are the numbers:
2 Likes
One of them is within a moving time window.
It’s not. Both of them are all-time stats at least that’s what the UI communicates
Yep, in doing some more checking I am also finding other odditeties.
I checked a newer user on a site I have admin rights.
The user joined 30 days ago.
On their public profile - https://<site>/u/<user>/summary - it shows 
On the admin page - https://<site>/admin/users/<user id>/<user> - it shows
Since the user has only been active on one topic and has several post I checked all of the post. They have not given a like or received a like.
I did not look at any personal messages.
Isn’t this because public profile is just public topics and admin counts likes in PMs ?

I guess that’s not a question to mee as I haven’t developed that feature 
Maybe. But it’s another time we experience data discrepancies because of either some lack of proper UX and communication from the UI or something else.
It would be great @Falco if you can confirm that for sure so we can be 100% set on that. Thanks!

The stats that you see on the user’s summary page are taken from the user_stats table. The likes_given, likes_received, post_count and topic_count fields in that table all refer to activity that happens in regular topics - activity from PMs is excluded from the results. For reference, see discourse/app/models/user_action.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub.
The stats that you see on a user’s admin page include counts from PMs, so you can expect the results for likes_given, likes_received, post_count and topic_count to be different in the two places.
If the user completed the New User Tutorial, they will have given and received 1 like in a PM. Those likes will show up on the user’s admin page, but they will not be displayed on the user’s Summary page because they occured in a PM. You can also expect the Posts Created count to be higher on a user’s admin page than they are on their Summary page if the user has responded to the tutorial.
