You have to gauge the company culture and figure out what's most likely. Could be that they didn't want to overwhelm you so you got less than usual work to begin with and their expectation was that you'll come asking for more work (that's what I do when the job is "easy"). Also could be that the incumbents are defending their positions by rating you lower than you should be. If they put you in a bracket below themselves then it's increased job security for them and a higher probability for raises/promotions. |

Maybe there are events triggered by a score (e.g. 3/7 is a review of skills, 6/7 is consider a promotion).
Or perhaps the manager has to justify any above-average ratings to their superiors -- meaning that "everyone gets a four" makes the wheels move slowly.
I think the most likely answer though, is that they don't feel they know you well enough (yet) to judge. One month isn't very long at all. Once you've been on a few projects, your manager will get a better feel for your skillset.
When you get to a 6- or 12-month appraisal, ask again -- but ask it differently. The question you want to ask is "Are there any things you think I could improve / any skills you'd recommend I learn or improve on?"
