I dislike this scale. One could argue that "partially false" is better than "partially true".
replaced "partially" with "somewhat".
That doesn't really solve the problem. For clarity's sake, you probably ought use "mostly true" and "mostly false".
"Mostly" is too strong a qualifier.
If you're looking for something that means "more than half", then "mostly" is a good choice. If you're looking for something that means "less than half", then you have the problem that "<qualifier> true" means less true than "<qualifier> false".
try "roughly" maybe?
Going for "weakly true" and "weakly false".
