“Some study showed that 80% of people think they are above average.”

Not me. I always called myself Medium Mears.
Medium height.
Medium weight.
Medium income.
Medium intelligence.
All those “mediums” have served me well over the years.
That's because you've used them in an above-average way, by understanding them in an excellent way, in order to follow brilliant ideas without being sabotaged by below-average people.
I’ve read enough of your posts to know that you have WAY anove average common sense, which is far from common. Or average.
I am a teacher. We are ranked on a 1-5 scale. So, 50 percent of my eval was 2.76, 35 percent was 2.0, and 15 percent was 4.0.While my response may have been perhaps a bit over the top, I call 'em like I see 'em:So what is my rank on 1-5 scale? Help! Very stumped!
You're a teacher and you can't do a simple weighted average??? I certainly hope that you're not a math teacher.And people wonder why the kids aren't learning much?Multiply each score times its weight and sum them:
(0.5 * 2.76) + (0.35 * 2.0) + (0.15 * 4.0) = 1.38 + 0.7 + 0.6 = 2.68
And, yes, that question was for real:
“Not me. I always called myself Medium Mears.”
If you were “medium” at judging yourself, you wouldn’t judge yourself “medium”. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
