Anabolic=Tissue Building/Development (i.e. muscle tissues)
Androgenic=Development Of Male Characteristics (i.e. aggression, voice deepening, body hair etc)

So when a compound stays it has a anabolic ratio of 10:1. Is that "good" or "bad" do we want the higher number to be the androgenic or anabolic? I'm assuming we want anabolic

That depends. They both serve a purpose.

As Rodja said, both serve a purpose but for muscle building you want your AAS or PH to have a higher anabolic ratio.
Straight Testosterone has a ratio of 100/100, so it's as anabolic as it is androgenic. Just remember that the lower the androgenic value, the lower the severity of the side effects

For our purposes, as long as youre sticking with known compounds, I wouldnt even worry about it.
Crudely, the ratio is a measure of a compounds affect on muscle growth (measured in a hip muscle) and prostate growth. And as Rodja noted...on rats.
There are numerous compounds with "better" ratios than test, on paper, but in real life use they dont lead to better gains.
The ratio is pretty much a poor indicator of compound potency for us, IF you just go by the anabolic number. These ratios are useful in the pharmaceutical/medicinal field, but for bodybuilders, not so much.
