Methinks this premise is more likely to be: "a user would like to offer it's 
credentials once and be done with it."
Users do not want to login. Really, they don't.

Therefore you can measure the success of SSO by counting the dissapearing 
login "buttons" or "links" on websites who do offer user centric (profiling) 
services.
"Click to proceed", yes, "Login" no.
