Surprised by the barbell curl and shoulder press...I don't see many people lifting much heavier than me but oh well1 -
Squat: Intermediate, stronger than 76%
Bench: Intermediate, stronger than 69%
Deadlift: Advanced, stronger than 86%
Generally I'd agree with this, but I think my bench is better than my squat. The squat is my worst lift for progress and regular performance a lot less consistent.
My next main goals are 1.5x bodyweight squat, 1x bodyweight bench and 2x bodyweight deadlift.

Mine are my 100%. They are a lot lower than a lot, but more than others.
I finally graduated to being able to put weights on the bar for a bench press (okay, the plates are 2.5kg, but to me that's awesome!).

All that matters is you are giving it your all. Never be anything less than proud of your efforts when you know it put it all out there.
Now nothing is wrong with being inspired by the other people's post to push yourself.
You're doing great, just take it slow and build up at your own pace. Make sure to keep it light until you have the form down 100%. And always consult a trained professional whenever you have questions.
You've all got this!4 -

For all 93 Raw Masters in Wisconsin, I have the second best deadlift. For all Open Raw 93s in Wisconsin my deadlift ranks 43rd, and Nationally I don't rank.
And there are other ways to access your strength. https://symmetricstrength.com uses different metrics other than just bodyweight and weight on the bar, but in a competitive context.
"The strength score measures how well you would fare in a strength competition against lifters at your sex and bodyweight."
455 lb squat: exceptional
580 lb dl: elite
340 lb bp: exceptional
Others....
355 lb FS: exceptional
215 lb OHP: exceptional
355 lb Pendlay Row: World class2 -
I don't do a 1-rep max because I like my ligaments. But after lifting for a few months I'm certain that bench, squat, and deadlift obove my body weight is simple enough.5

Great stuff and smart to point out that your results are measured against it's users meaning that it is still a limited source of data. Like the old saying take everything with a grain of salt.
I'll have to try the link you shared, I prefer to use multiple references for my data.2 -
My poor destroyed, ligaments that can support two-and-quarter times my bodyweight. Just crushed.

My little girlie ligaments (I'm sure they're more delicate, right?) can support 2.09 times my bodyweight. Poor lil things.5 -

Absolutely! My gym is my University's training center. Unlike most gyms, the staff is highly trained in form and WILL STOP YOU if you're doing something wrong. They'll work with you to make sure you're not going to injure yourself. Also, one of my best friends is an Orthopedic surgeon (her words); "heavy weights plus stupidity and ego pay for her Jaguar every year".
I am in competition with myself, and no one else. I am not the fastest, nor strongest, but I am working my hardest.5
