0 is exactly in the middle, and a positive number, like 0.7, is on the slightly higher side of what you would expect to get in 95% of the population your age (so it will be excluding extreme outliers: people who have very high or very low results). So it is not a low result. 95% of the population will fall between the -2 and the 2, and at 0.7 you are on the slightly higher side of the middle of the 95%. This is hard to explain, so I hope you see what I mean.
I'm going to post this, and check to see if the number line comes out generally right, and if not, I will try to edit it.
