    i guess I’m my mind “quite good” is better than “good”

    like “quite” is a synonym to “very” in this context as I understand it. maybe to a lesser degree, but it’s certainly a positive modifier. i would use a similar scale if those two were swapped.

    maybe that’s just my dumb american vocab or something, but i would be very confused by that scale as it stands.

        Yeah, you’re using “quite” incorrectly here. Add the other person said, “quite good” means “really good” or “very good.” You want something like “somewhat good.” If it were me, I would change 5 to “decent” and 6 to “enjoyable” since “enjoyable” has a much more positive connotation than I’d expect from the middle of the scale.
