Although anonymity goes a good way to addressing this, I dont think you can count on people to represent themselves accurately*



*notice how I didnt say honestly? People often have a certain idea of themselves that does not completely align with reality. They aren't being dishonest, they've just never thought of it before.

Oh, I know that, for sure. But I'm friends with an honest and introspective bunch, and anonymity does help.

On the other hand, the fact that I don't yet have any 3's and 4's probably shows how right you are.

Or it might just speak well of the people on your friends list. :)
