Then I'm like "OMG this cool person wants to be my friend!" Once that happens they are pretty high up on the scale. It's not that I'm unfriendly, I guess that stuff is awkward for me and I fear rejection.
I think I'm pretty much the same. People have described as 'aloof' what is really just shyness.
As a result I have a lot of difficulty making new friends IRL. But to answer the question, I usually assume a rando is a 5 unless they show some reason to change it. It's not like I actually assign number to people, though.
