The gap between Psionics and ordinary people had already been roughly described... It was not particularly large in the early stages of psionic awakening, but it would keep widening in the later stages.
This was why Psionics might not rank particularly highly in the middle of the game, while any randomly chosen late-game Psionic would be at least a four-star character.
