OK, seriously though, have you considered that there may also be a generational component to what makes an "average gamer"? How do you think the evolution varies between those who grew up gaming in the systems of our time, and say those whose gaming started with and continues in the various White Wolf models? All those youngsters who never even noticed D&D in the face of vampire and its brethren, where the concept of a simple hack and slash game with no character development is a bit trickier to manage? Some of those kids may not even get all of the munchkin references! You know, my former dating pool. :)
I think your gaming group does fall outside the norm, in part due to a general consensus for the value of storytelling, but I think that in trying to find out where you fall on the Unplottable Graph you maybe need to consider that whole section of gaming I know ain't your favorite.
