Above for all three. Based on the fact that I'm above average in all three compared to the general population, not just ATOT. But I do have self esteem issues and probably social anxiety disorder, so I don't get to enjoy any of my good attributes. So all the people who are less intelligent, less attractive, and less athletic than me are still happier, have more friends, and enjoy a much higher quality of life than I do.

Honestly, I'm above average as far as looks and athleticism go. I lift 4 times a week and do conditioning training 2 times a week, plus I'm very active. I'm good looking and I keep myself clean, well groomed, and dressing sharp when I'm out. As far as intelligence goes... well, I had the potential to excel in school, but I never cared to and got mostly "average" grades... but I don't rate intelligence based purely on GPA anyway. I've got plenty of common sense, and good analytical and problem solving skills... my IQ is above average, but I don't classify as a "genius". Not like it matters. If there'd been an "average" option, I'd have used it for Intelligence I suppose.

I'm not a narcissist, although I do jokingly act like I'm hot shit sometimes.

Should have been an "average" option, or even "dont know". I do know for a fact that I'm above average in athleticism. As for the other two, I really cant be sure. I could make assumptions, but not confident in my answers.

For those three options on a chart I'd be around here: ¯¯¯ while everyone else would be around here: _

I am pretty smart, but I am always amazed at the extraordinary level of intelligence shown by members of this board.

I figure that I am pretty average in looks.

I played three varsity sports in high school, but that was over 20 years ago. I am average among my peers age-wise, but I feel like many of the members here are younger than me, so I would get beat on stamina alone.

I see I'm in the minority, I think I'm pretty smart but then I go back and look at the number of threads I can't understand for the life of me follow. I think I'm on the lower end of average in attractiveness and I figure the forum have people who are relatively equally distributed on attractiveness and on athleticism I'm a decent swimmer but overall not particularly athletic.

Really though this thread isn't particularly new, there was a study I remember reading about which found that 94% of college professors rated themselves above average for college professors. Also look at this link.

No, they know what reality is. Then again narcissism is a hell of a drug and IMHO not a bad thing.

Anybody with a healthy mental attitude/outlook would vote above on all three.

And I see your sarcasm is broken....shame

My super model girlfriend filled out the pole while giving me head. You're a jerk for making her do two things at once.

you should also add income / earning potential.

I'm only making $365,000 a yr. which is of course well below average for ATOT.

Another honest post:

1. I've been above average in intelligence since, well, birth. As validated by several psychological tests (over the course of my life) and the general nature of my education (I've almost always been in advanced classes, was president of the FIRST Robotics team and NASA SLI (Student Lunch Initiative) team, made the internationals in the Science Fair, flash my resume on web forums ;), etc)

2. I'd say I'm above average in looks. I get plenty of "looks" from girls around campus when I actually spend time getting ready in the morning. Have also gotten blatant compliments a few times. I also dress nicer than the average guy, generally speaking. I'm no Brad Pitt, but I think that puts me in the above average category.

3. This is where I'd say I'm "average". My workouts are fairly erratic, as is my diet. I don't lift weights, substitute with rowing/push-ups/pull-ups .I love pick-up games, but the only thing I could say I'm somewhat "hardcore" at is soccer, and even then my skills are somewhat lacking from lack of use. That said, I'm in decent shape, especially in terms of endurance.

1. Average intelligence. There are a tonne of people on here that waaaayyyy smarter than me, but there area few I think I could outwit should the need ever arise.

2. Average looks probably. I don't really know what I'm comparing to though. I've seen pics of some decent-looking people here though, so I'll say I'm average.

3. Athleticism I'm going to go with above average here. I run a lot and work out quite a bit and I think my 43 minute 10K and 1 hour 35 minute half-marathon, while only average in the running world, would probably be tough for many here to beat.

Like the average ATOTer, I am smarter, more attractive and more athletic than the average ATOTer. Paradoxes are fun.

When submitting poll answers, remember to take into an account of the other thread that had a 'how many times have u had sex' poll.

That result still shocks me to this day. This forum IS really made up of typical socially inept nerds that you wouldn't even give them a second glance in real life, let alone troll with them.

It's funny because that thread was the first one I thought of when I saw the results here. Link to thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=38&threadid=2196849

I just bought some $200 jeans so clearly that makes me better than everybody on this forum not wearing $200 jeans.
