Maybe this is un-Christmasy of me, but the question/ data collection methods do not make it clear that 50 is "average." Also, "Compared to your family members... Rank yourself on a scale" are two measurements in one question.

Do better be better. I read this as most people sheepishly assessing themselves in the low 80's - in an American audience, Good but not Great.

Great comment. Your thoughts here made me take another look at the graph and it looks a lot like what I would imagine a grading distribution on the A,B,C,D, F scale might look like. And I recon that Americans answering a question like this might rate themselves as 75 being a C or average. So this distribitution might be a bit less skewed than I thought at first.
