I think each end of the normal-sized bars is calibrated to be the median for female/male traits respectively, so "all fine" would be abnormally feminine even compared to most women? Or they just messed up the formatting

Well they probably u should have added a warning that 'it was abnormal for even a woman to be all fine and therefore we NEED to extend the bar to abnomal lengths'
