Since the score is at least ordinal, why not use both the mean and median in
your reasoning?

In SPSS click <Help> theu enter "RANK"

then paste this after the syntax I posted before.
RANK VARIABLES=Q1 /RANK INTO RMEAN /TIES=MEAN.
RANK VARIABLES=Q1 /RANK INTO RCONDS /TIES=CONDENSE.
RANK VARIABLES=Q1 /RANK INTO RHIGH /TIES=HIGH.
RANK VARIABLES=Q1 /RANK INTO RLOW /TIES=LOW.
DESCRIPTIVES VARIABLES= RMEAN TO RLOW /statistics=ALL.
