I propose that the system be skewed toward the center, with a 2 or 3 being the average. Here's a typical 0-4 scale, slightly modified from one that we use at work: 0 -- Significantly below average 1 -- Below Average 2 -- Average 3 -- Above Average 4 -- Significantly above average Of course, this has the consequence of scores looking low when they're actually pretty good. For example, 2.5 across the board is slightly above average (so pretty good), but only sounds like just over half the available points. At the same time, though, it means a heck of a lot more when a product gets a 4 or a 0. What do you think? How about a standard scheme for what the numbers mean too?
