What percentile are you in various areas?

In the become intelligent/athletic/artistic thread, percentiles were brought up. So, how would you rate yourself (percentile) in the four areas of intelligence, athleticism, artistic skill, and social skill, both out of the general population (whole world/US, your discretion) and out of your age group? I'll chime in later; when the parent of these kinds of threads starts with themselves it's always followed by a page of flames, zingers, or accusations of bragging.

intelligence - 90th
athleticism - 70th
artistic skill - 20th
social skill - 95th

But I'm sure we all over rate ourselves to a degree.

I'd say:

Intelligence = 95+percentile, based on my testing as a child and young adult
Athleticism = 75 percentile. Maybe a bit higher..I was never the fastest/strongest/etc, but I always started in sports.
Artistic = I'm pitiful here. How about below 25th percentile. Maybe I'm not that bad, but I sure can't draw or paint.
Social = I'd say 70th percentile. I have lots of friends, no trouble talking to people, but I don't go out of my way to talk to
strange folks or anything, so not a type-A person, either.

Intelligence - 80
Wisdom - 85
Athletic - 95
Height - 99.9
Artistic skill - 5
Social skill - 60


If it was by just age group intelligence would be a little lower (no degree) and wisdom would be a lot higher (more real world experience).

Intelligence - 99th (based on an IQ test and pretty much every standardized test I've ever taken)
Athleticism - 80th?
Aristic - Are negative numbers valid? :eek: I'll go with 30th.
Social - Hell I don't know... I can't rate myself on that.

Social not ratable

Intelligence refers to IQ as predominately rated, not modern MI theories.

Athletic is tougher because there isn't really one rating system to use. When at my peak I was a better runner and swimmer than most, and am usually a better fighter. I'm also quite a bit stronger than average. However I have next to no sports skills. If you rate athletic as sports only, then I'm probably in the 10th percentile at most. If you include general physical/kinesthetic then I'm at least at 50th, maybe a bit higher. It just depends how you weight it all.

Much like athletic, this one is super hard. I can't sing at all, can't dance at all, can't draw at all, etc. But I'm SUPER creative, can act, can work with wood, sculpt, play instruments, write, etc. In the things I can do I think I'm 75th or higher, in the things I can't I'm 25th or lower...I figured I'd just average it all to 50th.

Social doesn't even exist, so I have no idea what kind of rating one would use.

Oh please...it's 4d6 discard the lowest die.

He asked for percentiles, not attribute scores, I suppose I could figure it out from stats, like do a conversion, but that's not what he asked for.

Btw - real men roll 3 and take what life gives them, stat whore.

;) :p

lol, as usual, ATOT is the smartest and most athletic group of people in the world.
you posts are lacking a few things though, like your $500,000 a year jobs, your super hot model girlfriends, and your Ferraris.

I'm pretty sure many or most ATOTers are under estimating their intelligence percentile. I may not be the most intelligent person in my group of friends, but put me in a room with 99 random people and I'm likely to be more intelligent than all of them just statistically. I choose to surround myself with people of high intelligence, but that doesn't mean we as a group aren't rare.

So with that said, I'm going to say:
Intelligence 99%
Athleticism 30%
Artistic Skill 60%
Social Skill 70%
Alcohol Tolerance 1% (or 50% if I were a 5'0" 80 lb female).
