Well I don't know Jerome. I mean I absolutely agree with Mel that scores of all over 13 or something is completely unrealistic, and that the questions leave a little to be desired validity-wise. Though I think we need to factor in people 'favourable' views of themselves as well, not just the failings of the test when you see inflated scores. But I don't think if it were 'real' that everyone would just have scores around 9. That might be the average but an average means that some people are above and some people are below. It's certainly not unthinkable that some people here would be really intelligent, or really strong, or really charismatic or something. You don't have to be a 'star' to be charismatic, there's not some charisma police that takes away everyone with a score over 15 to Starville so they can't post here anymore. Perhaps there's a lot of budding TV evangelists here who just haven't heeded the call!
The fact that there isn't very many scores
below 9 is a problem, but it's not necessarily completely incorrect that some people might be above-average in some skills.
