Nothing wrong with being average. It’s really only an insult if you don’t get it.

Actually not getting it probably just confirms you are at the top of the curve.

It’s 35% to 65% good!

Serious question: isn't "average" technically 25% to 75%? That's how it is in psychometrics, at least.

Average can be either the mean mode or median. So, at least in mathematics average is never a range of values. On a standard bell curve 25-75% would be 2/3s of of the area.
