Starting a post with a "summa cum laude" humblebrag would be an equally strong indicator of a status orientation versus a results orientation.

- jacques_chester 14y agoWhat if I started my post with a "YC alum"? Basically you're just arbitrarily attaching "status" and "results" labels to things. It's an argument I can't win, because by raising my own achievements by way of disclaimer[1], I am "bragging", which is a "status orientation" on my part. But the fact that I worked towards a measurable goal in a structured way according to a plan of my own design -- that somehow isn't results-seeking behaviour? [1] because usually, these discussions boil down to an argument between people with a degree and people without a degree -- and there's a strong correlation between the pro-degree/contra-degree camp and who has a degree.
