Totally agree with that...

I think that people isn't very honest answering the questions and tend to overrate some things xD But it's quite difficult to manage that...

Thank you for give it a try ! :)

Given the log-slider, a log-average would probably make more sense. As in, take the log of all responses, average those, and raise the average to the power of 10.

That makes sense intuitively too - it feels like $10k is twice as 'big' an amount of money as $1k is

I think it'd be more interesting to show a distribution chart rather than any type of average or mean.
