How much pressure to press down on the chain checker tool?

How much pressure, if any, do you put on your chain checker when checking chain wear?

I have the Filzer chain checker (below). If I just place the checker tool on/in the chain, the chain reports 50% wear. But if I apply a little pressure, the chain checker drops down to 75% wear.

So I'm curious. Do you just place the checker in the chain and let gravity do the rest, or do you help it along?

Thank you.
