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. <3

P.S. I'm not sure why I made this post. I'm weird.

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. ENDED

Compare yourself to other people:

1 - My skills/abilities are much worse comparing to others.
2 - I am not as good as other people.
3 - I am exactly the same as everyone else.
4 - I am somewhat better than others.
5 - I am a superior human being.

Find myself somewhere close to 0 :/

Actually SG folks are quite shy. Similar studies have shown higher overall percentage of people who believe that they are "better than average". Up to 90% :)

Eh, I consider myself to be quite good at certain things (incidentally it happens to be the things I value ;) ), while less good at other things (like say singing). So I'm going with 4.

Not really. Consider the sample [10, 10, 10, 10, 5]: the average of those number is 9 and 80% of the sample is higher than average.
