I have a very similar system only from a subjective personal angle:

  1. I hated it
  2. I didn't like it
  3. It was fine
  4. I really liked it
  5. I loved it

So most get 3, some get 2 or 4, only the few special ones get 1 or 5.

    If you're rating people, then it's better that you just don't rate if they did a good job. Because corporations only see 4 and 5 as good, everything else is bad. So you rating someone's good performance as 3 just hurts them for doing a good job.

    Some corporations don't even see 4 as acceptable, let alone good. If I get a 4 star rating instead of a 5 at work, it's essentially the same as the person not giving me a rating. 1-3 are bad, 4 is neutral, only 5 is good.
