I voted, and I'm mildly amused/interested. It does feel a little like a poll asking... How long is a piece of string? a) This long, b) That long, c) Other - please specify.
- proexploit 14y agoYeah, it lacks an actual metric and a way to measure it but I'm curious which way we evaluate ourselves. E.g. do we have more than 50% of people who feel like everyone else is better or does everyone thing they're top tier.
- cheald 14y agoI agree, but it's really more about perception than reality. I think this ties in nicely with the "I feel like a fraud" sentiment that people commonly express (and their course of maturing out of that sentiment). I suspect that this would end up breaking down along lines of years-of-experience, with narcissists slightly tilting things towards the higher percentiles. :)
- antidamage 14y agoThe Dunning Kruger effect would describe the outcome of this poll quite nicely I expect.
- stray 14y agoA piece of string is precisely 1.2cm long.
- bigiain 14y agoAccording to page 87 of the specification document (March 23rd 2013 revision), it's 12mm+-0.5mm, with a service limit of +0.5 to -1.5mm. There's a varience request in place to allow installation of 1/2" (12.7mm) string, so long as we use COTS imperial string with +0" to -1/16" tolerances.
- daurnimator 14y agoc) Twice half it's length.
- krapp 14y agoprobably just long enough to hang yourself with.
