  By middle of the range, do you mean 2.5 or actually where the median person scores? Because scoring a 4.0/5.0 nets you a 98th percentile placement (don't ask me how I know).

  It made me wonder, reading through the items--a lot of these are "little picture" questions / items. I would guess--just as a spitball--that a lot of the people who would test really dark are going to be handled better by the rest of us, systematically, over time, in ways that support the best they can do for themselves and for the rest of us. That's even part of the point of this instrument. Humanity is getting more and more big-picture-oriented in general (planning, teamwork, contingency thinking, scoping, scheduling, emotional intelligence, etc. are all freely taught even to low-paid workers in many cases) and has even begun to coalesce around a "curable disease" model of evil (i.e. latest Spider-Man film). In addition, highly-sensory forms of entertainment which allow expression of the D traits offered are also available, theoretically making a restorative bounce to the opposite frame of mind, something like the Yin response, possible... (Definitely speculation but I'd risk it)
