Incipient Vs. Balanced Bilingual

I was just wondering, and it could be quite a stupid question, but is there anything in between Incipient and Balanced bilingual? I realize that these are just labels used by academics to define the boundaries of bilingualism, but I feel I can't say that I am at either the minimal end of incipient bilingualism or the maximum end of being a balanced bilingual.
On the questionnaire attached to the USQ DB, I voted that I was an Incipient bilingual, but I feel there should be further divisions that include people with strong abilities in say, just one receptive skill such as speaking or listening, but weaker with productive skills. I guess this is where the Holistic view of bilingualism plays a part?!
a bit confused...

Being a balanced bilingual is the goal of many people in the world. However, it is not that easy! Certainly, the most important thing is to communicate our ideas. I always attempt to do it as accurate as possible.

I think that a real bilingual person is someone capable of expressing his or her ideas accurately in any form, that is to say, written or spoken.
