You were doing it entirely right, because what I really wanted was for you to use however you defined average - perceived numerical, in your case.
As it is, I think once you take the handful of people on my flist who are way more successful, creative, etc. than I am and then the handful who I like but always think wow, reading this is like looking at a cautionary trainwreck, those two extremes cancel each other out, and that was my thought process while answering these questions.
*nods*
I wonder if all friends lists have these kinds of extremes. And I wonder what weight we're giving those extremes when we answer these questions. Oh, LJ Poll, why will you not allow more exhaustive statistical analysis? And interviewing selected subjects? And possibly also the answers to life, the universe, and everything?
