I don't think the voting system will reflect the exact pain levels of the
person.  People exaggerate.  For example, those surveys where you have 1-5, 1 =
not likely at all, and 5 = definitely, people often circle all 5s or all 1s
because they want to drag the curve in a certain direction.

Funny, I almost never circle 1 or 5 for those because it's rare that I'll have 
such strong feelings about the topic.

Heh, same here. I do have strong opinions, but whenever I see such a survey, I'm thinking: "Could I be even more pissed about that? Guess so". So I tend to circle 2 and 4 :o).
