Please confirm/check

Guys,

I'm trying to order the following words in terms of strength (not sure if this is an appropriate term).
American English:

1.Rather
2.Quite
3.Pretty
4.Very

British English:

1. Quite
2. Rather
3. Pretty
4. Very

Please confirm or check if my understanding is correct.

Thanking you in advance

At least from an AmE point of view, I don't think they can be linearly ordered; too much depends on individual habit.
