Compare yourself to other people:

This just screams for not getting honest answers, also you can feel better in certain aspects and not so good in others.

At least there is no "potato" option :)
Everyone can answer how they feel "in general". I am not comparing any particular skill.

Eh, it's anonymous voting so it should be relatively accurate.. I think

1 - My skills/abilities are much worse comparing to others.
yeah, self-esteem ftw! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
3 - because I know not enough of other people and I am not that conceited to think of myself any higher than of the other people.
or lower as it is

I picked 2, just because I haven't done as well as others. But really that's all based on the criteria and standards set by society.
My piers have steady jobs, owe 200.000 to the bank for the house they "bought" and their wife is pregnant yet again.
I am poor but I don't owe, my girlfriend and I do fun stuff together that doesn't lead to children...lol, and I am living in another country and see new things every day.
So yea, 2...5...depends on whoms criteria you go by...

I'll go with 2. I'm not exactly up to par, but I wouldn't say I'm at the bottom either.

2 - I am not as good as other people.
I have little to no confidence... But I'm working on it <3

Voted for 2. Might actually be between 2 or 3 on some rare days.

Are we comparing to "our peers" or to "other people" (e.g., humanity)?
Comment has been collapsed.
It is easier to compare yourself to "peers" imo. It's a simple poll really, no need to overthink it :)

I don't see how anyone could answer this because every person has certain qualities that are better than the average person while they also have certain qualities that are worse. You could be a genius with an IQ higher than 99.9% of the population, but have no social skills or you could be a star athlete winning gold metals in the olympics, but be as dumb as a rock. Or maybe you are smart and athletic, but you are a sociopath with no emotions.
You may rate a 4 or 5 at certain things while rating a 1 or 2 at others.

Social experiment!?!? I love social experiments!
Hmm. I might do some things better than my peers and others not so much. It's really tough to answer as an overall category though. The closest will probably be three as my strengths and weaknesses might even out someone else's strength and weaknesses. Feel me? :)

I'm smarter when it comes to tactics, i'm worse when it comes to actual aiming/controlling.

I'm glad to hear that. But I gotta tell you that wasn't meant as a joke. That's just how terrible of a human being I am. And I'm perfectly fine with it, I'm not seeking for sympathy.

Don't say that. There is something good in everyone. If you would like to talk via chat one day, feel free to add me on steam. I won't give you some golden advices or some cheesy motivational speeches but sometimes it help just to talk with other people (I'm talking from my own experience).

Thanks for the offer but even if I was willing to talk - and I'm not - I suck at spanking englando (and believe it or not that hurts more than almost anything else).
But like I said, not seeking for sympathy, and I'll delete my posts if things get messy.
I just thought some people, including me - duh - could use a "zero" option in the poll.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, I totally understand.
But just in case, that offer has no expiration date ;)

I put 3 - I am exactly the same as everyone else. Because although I'm really good at some stuff, I'm sure that overall I'm just a collection of skills and abilities rated between 1 and 5 just like everyone else.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think overall my stat card would be;
Pokemoning - 5
Painting - 5
Reaching for things on high shelves - 5
CS:GOing - 1
Karaoke - 1
Avoiding whisky - 1

Avoiding whisky - 1
This made me laugh but I probably shouldn't be laughing. So..

I am better than others at things that I like, and I'm the worst at things I dislike (or I dislike everything I suck at, not sure yet).

I expected 1&2 to be more popular for the same reason :D
also I don't believe that you a 1 :)

I hate questions when I have to rate myslef because I always overthink them. Well, this time for once I only thinked for about 30 seconds, so I guess thats nice :P

Most of the time I feel that I am surrounded by incompetents at work where I exist to Google things for others.

Voted 5 because when I saw the GA Peter's spirit took control.

Maybe you are that fabulous :)

I ended up going with option two because I have a couple of skills where I feel I'm better than others by a decent amount, but in all the 'survive on your own' skills I'm abysmal. Managing money? Cooking without somehow injuring myself? Haha nope.

Thanks to everyone who participated!
Many studies have shown that an average person believes that (s)he is better than average which is statistically impossible
I guess it is fair to say that our poll confirmed this. After 400+ votes "I am somewhat better than others" answer is the most popular. Screenshot in case if you guys decide to change your votes :D
Overall majority (51%) believes that they are better than others.
29% believe that they are not as good as other people and it is likely to be attributed to low self-esteem.
Bottom line: Please love yourself but stay humble and respect people around you. All of us are good at some things (it doesn't matter if it is gaming, pokemoning, cooking or else) and horrible at others. It doesn't make you better or worse. Be an individual. Excel in what you do best. You are all
marvelous (ga ended)as far I'm concerned. <3P.S. I'm not sure why I made this post. I'm weird.
Original post:
How would you rate your qualities and abilities in comparison to your peers? Scale from 1 to 5 (with 5 being the highest).
I am curious how members of our community feel about themselves. Please answer honestly. No puzzles but here is a
random GA.ENDEDComment has been collapsed.
