Just a little food for thought: If you rate something on a 1 to 5 scale, 1 to 5 means your rating can never be lower than 1 and never be higher than 5. Therefor the middle of that scale is 3 not 2.5. This is something I see people make mistakes on because 2.5 is half of 5. As a result we naturally think 2.5 is the middle when its not on a 1 to 5 scale. When the scale starts at one rather than zero, 2.5 is no longer the middle. 3 ends out being the middle because there is no zero on the scale. On a 1 to 10 scale 5 is not the middle. 5.5 is the middle because again there is no zero. Just a little something to rack your brain on if youre bored. Have a good day.
