The bias would probably be from the selective nature of this forum's posters' peer groups: the median university graduate is rather smarter than the median working class laborer.

Dunning-Kruger Syndrome leads one to believe that the people on the low/middle end of a curve overestimate their position on the curve, and the people on the high end overestimate.

Intelligence is based on ability to learn, think, and reason.

Education does not affect intelligence.

However, intelligent people are drawn to education, hence a random sample of university graduates will be more intelligent on average than a random sample of those who stopped at secondary education.

Edit: But now that I think of it, there's less underestimation here than I thought at first.

Intelligence: 95
Atheleticism: 35
Artistic: 90
Social: 10

So it looks like the average ATOTer goes like this:

Intel - 95th
Athleticism - 70th
Artistic: - 20th
Social - 10th

 

[Scouzer]

Intelligence - 80 (Got a few scores in school in the 98th percentile though)
Athleticism - 30
Artistic - 10
Social - 40

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.

8-( I'm sorry, but our group was usually 4 or less...we needed the extra oomph to make up for a smaller party.

I think it's been demonstrated in several psychology studies that most people tend to think more highly of themselves than the reality of the situation. Ask a statistically significant sample of the population to rate their intelligence, and more than half of them will claim to be above the generally accepted median.

And yet intelligence is the one attribute asked about that can actually be statistically quantified and verified. For any of us who've actually been officially tested we can answer with certainty, not ego. Of course, most people have never taken a true intelligence test - just the bs online and/or extrapolation from academic test scores.

General public education, not much no. However you can train yourself up about 1sd. On top of a 1-2sd shift from upbringing and environment you have a potential shift of 3sd's from your genetic disposition. In theory anyway.

Yeah but if you bring that up, the people who scored lower will be quick to point out that intelligence is not necessarily correlated with success in life, which is probably true, depending on how you define success.

I'd give myself solid 60s across the board. I think I am very average. I don't suck at anything, but I also don't really excel at anything in-particular either.
