It is the psychological effect of having the results so unevenly represented. An average adult (#2) should be close to the middle of choices depending on how you calculate. But that is not the case here. Being average sounds horrible since everybody wants to be above what is "merely average." Average is where you fit right in with the majority of all your other peers. Now OP scored slightly above average, but according to the chart it appears he barely scrapes the bottom of the barrel.
