A quiz test

That is, I took this quiz three times in quick succession. I didn’t think about the answers and answered quickly and as honestly as possible each time. Each question was actually a statement with which I agreed or disagreed. I was able to choose one of five answers, a range from “Very Inaccurate” to “Very Accurate”; choosing the middle/third choice indicated that the statement was around 50% accurate. Let’s look at the results.

OVERALL RESULTS
I created this graph from scratch as an average of the three below. A star (*) next to the percentage means that the score did not change any of the three times I took the test. Can someone figure out which of the three tests is most like the average?

THOUGHTS
The first time, I answered mostly in the middle or just to the left or right of middle, and my results mostly (predictably) lay in the 40-60% range. The second time, I answered a lot more definite yes or no (like or dislike, etc.) and was rewarded with a more varied table. Most percentages rose. Some, like wealth and hedonism, stayed the same. The third time, I slowed down and took time to better consider the answers. I didn’t answer all extremes, but I also didn’t mind answering one of the extremes if I thought it applied. Some of my results still didn’t change.
