please help me with a design issue by looking at my screenshots

[jquertil]

hello,

let's say you are looking at an online doctor profile and there are
quartile ratings and star ratings for various aspects of the doctor.

A quartile rating basically says: "for this item, the doctor is better
than 35%, 50%, or 75% of his/her peers.

I am having a hard time deciding on the right layout (dont flame me,
its a heavy javascript page, so still somewhat related to this group I
hope).

I put 4 screenshots of different options and would love if you could
take a look at the 4 screenshots and then vote which one is the
easiest to understand.

My first question when I see sites like that is how does a person know
that unless s/he has visited every single one of his/her peers? After
that, I discount any site that tries to tell me that. And, I also
typically discount sites that rate a doctor. What I have found - from
personal experience rating a doctor - is that the negative ratings get
removed and you only end up with neutral (if lucky) and positive reviews
and that makes them worthless to me.

To keep it JS related: Ditch the jQuery and at least find a library
written by someone that has a minimum understanding of Javascript and
the author of jQuery doesn't.
