A 3.5 isn't the same thing as a 5. It might be a seven but it depends if they start from 0 or 1.0 for their lowest possible score. If they do start at 0, then actually a 3.5 is exactly a seven. If they start at 1 instead, a 3.0 would be the equivalent of 5.0. So a 3.5 would be more like somewhere be between 6.0 and 7.0 if starting their rating at 1.0. |
Mathematical equivalency is not the same thing as trying to convey the same meaning with the same score. Assuming they start at 1, a 3 is perfectly average, and a 7 is about the mean/median score for IGN.
