(Dan from CFAR here) - That question (and the 3 similar ones) came from a standard psychology scale. I think the question is intentionally ambiguous between “you in particular” and “people in general”—the longer version of the scale includes some questions that are explicitly about each, and some others that are vaguely in the middle. They’re meant to capture people’s relatively intuitive impressions.
You can find more information about the questions by googling, although (as with the calibration question) it’s better if that information doesn’t show up in the recent comments feed, since scales like this one are often less valid measures for people who know what they’re intended to measure.
