Things you are in the top/bottom 1% of

[-james-]

I was terrible at art when I was 9 years old, and I don't imagine my drawing has come on much since then. I am comically bad at it. It's the kind of thing I wouldn't mind being decent at either but I'm never going to go sit in the park drawing landscapes until they're not shit.

[Giggles]

I would very much doubt anyone here is in the top 1% of anything. I doubt I’m in the top 20% of anything myself.

Same probably goes for bottom.

[Mellberg]

You'll be in the top 1% of something, Giggles. Even if it's being a misery arse.

With you on art. No exaggeration to say there will be toddlers better than me at drawing. My brother's really gifted too. But he's also in the top 1% of losing his hair, so lol.

Considering the population of the planet it’s very unlikely, even of that. Nobody here is with the tiny ratio of people.

[Mellberg]

Population? We're talking percentages. There's considerably more than 100 activities/whatever, so chances are you'll be in the top 1% for at least one of them, however mundane.

[Giggles]

There’s on a chance one of the 20 or so people here is in the top 1% of any talent no matter what it is, or bottom. Even on the art thing, once you cover all the people with no arms or no sight or no motor skills or whatever, you’re probably outside that bottom 1% even before too get to all the cunts who are just plain worse than you.

[SincereTheRebel]

Im in the top 1% of Gran Turismo drivers. :cool:

[Queenslander]

Probably top 1% of blokes who can grow a beard.

[SincereTheRebel]

My handwriting is awful. Bottom 1% for sure.

[Offshore Toon]

The only thing I know for certain is that my CAT score in year 9 was top 1%.

Giggles, you're being a spastic again. Anything you're interested in you're probably in that bracket. I'd be fairly certain you're in the top 1% of slow cooker chefs and Kiko harrassers.

[Spikey M]

Both times me and my wife have tried for a baby she's got pregnant first time. Both kids also look exactly like me. My Jizz must be top 1% of potency.

On the downside, I must have at least a couple of nippers that I don't know about. :uhoh:

[John Arne]

Beer brewing and roastie making too.

Also bottom 1% of lettuce liking.

[Giggles]

I'd say I'm not even in the top 1% of people at those in the province here. Apart from the rarest of occasions, no matter what you do you'll always find people better at it. It's the main reason I would never engage others about the likes of brewing.

[Dave.]

Great work.:thbup:

[Ian]

I'm in the top 1% for regular creation of TTH monthly football thread in the last two years.

I think you are viewing it through a lens of "top 1% at drawing among those who draw" rather than "top 1% at drawing among everyone". It's still quite unlikely but not impossible.

[Dave.]

I'm nearly in the top 1% in this year's FPL. Thread starter and a couple of others are in that top 1%.

[Yevrah]

I may have been in the top 1% for packs saved/crafted for team of the year in FIFA21 back in January.

[Kikó]

There must be some in here in the top 1% for FM gaming.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm 17th in European Tour fantasy golf this year (from about 50,000 players) with one tournament to go, which puts me in the top 0.003% (or maybe 0.03%, I'm no good at decimal places). Top 1% is for the mediocre.

[Andy]

Top 1% of Fantasy Premier league managers in the hall of fame over 15 seasons. That is probably even more boring than it sounds.

Currently 32k out of 8.6m.

[Shindig]

Both times me and my wife have tried for a baby she's got pregnant first time. Both kids also look exactly like me. My Jizz must be top 1% of potency.

Bet she was glad they came out head first.

[Baz]

Probably nowt

[Lewis]

Have you ever been approached to do any articles or social media for FPL?

[Andy]

Have you ever been approached to do any articles or social media for FPL?

A couple of times people have asked, I am terrible at any sort of writing though. Was first asked about 10 years ago when I posted on a fantasy football forum, should have probably said yes as now there are loads of people working full time on FF websites, podcasts, YouTube etc making a decent wage.

[Spikey M]

C sections, akchooally.

[Pepe]

I think you are viewing it through a lens of "top 1% at drawing among those who draw" rather than "top 1% at drawing among everyone". It's still quite unlikely but not impossible.

Using the among everyone threshold means that you are at the top 1% of any activity that less than 80 million people do. That would make Pleb a top 1% haxball player, or Quincy a top 1% amateur pizza maker, and we can all see how ridiculous those two sound. The among those who do the activity is the much better, and much harder threshold. I am with Giggles on this one. It is unlikely that many of us are top 1% at anything. Not impossible, mind, as a few posters have already shown.

I am a top 3% Street Fighter 5 player, apparently.

[Ian]

That would make Pleb a top 1% haxball player

I'd question whether he's even top 100%.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's in the top 1% of those who can execute a plebroll.

[randomlegend]

Top 1% for IQ, for whatever it's worth.

[randomlegend]

"Lololol but you're thick"

[Giggles]

Top 1% for IQ, for whatever it's worth.


"Lololol but you're thick"

I'll go with both untrue.

[Don]

He's posted that seriously, too :lol:

[randomlegend]

I did a formal Mensa IQ when I was at high school because a teacher (who was in Mensa) thought I might score highly enough to join. I did the test because I was curious what my IQ was but I didn't join.

That being said all IQ tests look at different things and will score you differently, but I scored in the top 1% on that particular one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Please tell us more.

[Don]

Did he touch you [in]appropriately?

[Boydy]

More like Mongsa.

[Pepe]

Sorry for disrespecting you in the past.

EDIT: @RL, obviously.

[randomlegend]

Not sure why you're all getting pissy at me for answering the question the thread asked.

[Pepe]

They're just jealous.

[Giggles]

Not sure why you're all getting pissy at me for answering the question the thread asked.

In fairness I'd say you're the most regularly piled on poster here anyway, so that was always going to get a reaction.

[Baz]

Not sure why you're all getting pissy at me for answering the question the thread asked.
Because it's one of the lamest and most conceited things to boast about.

[randomlegend]

I'm not boasting.

[Giggles]

Wouldn't that mean anyone answering the question is boasting?

[randomlegend]

Nah only me obviously.

[Spikey M]

Have I told you lads about my turbo-spunk?

[Don]

Kiko has had the grace and humility to not post in here, you'd all do well to take a leaf out of his majestic highly acclaimed book.

I recall providing images of my GCSE certificates on here approximately 15 years ago though so you're on a great path regardless.

[Giggles]

Have I told you lads about my turbo-spunk?

Your illegitimate seed.

[Baz]

Wouldn't that mean anyone answering the question is boasting?

If you’re claiming to be in the top 1% of the world population at something, it’s boasting.

[Offshore Toon]

We need more bottoms to even the thread out.

I'm in the bottom 1% of Steve Bruce fans.

[randomlegend]

Baz firmly in the bottom 1% of knowing what words mean.

[randomlegend]

I'm absolutely terrible at swimming but probably more like bottom 10%.

[Giggles]

I'm absolutely terrible at swimming but probably more like bottom 10%.

What about people who can't swim you boasting cunt.

[Offshore Toon]

I'm absolutely terrible at swimming but probably more like bottom 10%.
Racist.

[Spikey M]

That's got to be a ban surely.

[Smjffy]

I can swim for miles in a pool, I can't swim in the sea because I'm petrified of it.

I think I watched Jaws at an impressionable age.

[Baz]

The seas not for swimming in. It’s for running as fast as you can into oncoming waves.

[igor_balis]

Bottom 1% handwriting if you don't include people who are illiterate I think is a genuine possiblity for me.

An old colleague at the bank said he'd never met anyone in his life less capable of handling stress, and he's my mate, so maybe that as well.

[Smjffy]

The seas not for swimming in. It’s for running as fast as you can into oncoming waves.

Back when I lived in Guernsey I tried to conquer my fear of it. I had my mate with me ready to dive in and a friend on the shore recording the whole thing for proof. It took me ages to build up the courage to do so and just before we did, my Canadian friend spotted a pink Jelly fish and said "OMG we're going to get Steve Irwin'ed" right as I was ready to leap which made me laugh but that was a huge mistake because I was now in the water, laughing but feeling my lungs close in on me so the experience was worse than it needed to me.

Now given what we have learned about sewage being released, it's not that bad a fear to know that I haven't been swimming in shit for years. Shame too because there's some lovely spots in Cornwall if I was inclined.

Your Canadian friend is in the bottom 1% of Steve Irwin knowledge.

It was a stingray that offed him.

[Smjffy]

That's why it tickled me. The reference, not the actual Jelly fish.

Thank you Taz. I'm in the top 1% of mensa as well.

[Baz]

Baz firmly in the bottom 1% of knowing what words mean.
What?

[Lewis]

There will only be a handful of people who know more about British nuclear history than me. Never done an IQ test though, so judge that achievement yourselves.

[Smjffy]

Would I be in the top 1% or bottom 1% in regards to finishi....

[randomlegend]

Less than 1% of people are doctors so I'm definitely in the top 1% of people at being a doctor :cool:

[igor_balis]

My chess ELO is probably a pretty fucking low percentile when you only include people who've played as many games, watched as many YouTube videos and read as many books as me.

[randomlegend]

I am also terrible at chess.

[Smjffy]

I don't understand the game at all and have never played so I don't know if I would be terrible or not, the part that puts me off is it looks like you'd need to be eased into it by someone with experience and I a) hate losing and b) there is no guarantee I'd enjoy it so that's why I prefer checkers. Not that I've played that in donkey's either but you know.

[igor_balis]

Chess is a brilliant game, it has that universally perfect combination of pretty simple rules with shitloads of hidden complexity and depth. It can be frustrating when you try to push on to a higher level and you basically haven't got the capacity, like me, but the joy of elo is that you can pretty much guarantee playing similar level people.

It's also surprisingly easy to develop from knowing the rules and fools mate to having basic strategic and tactical understanding. A couple of half hour youtube videos and a dozen or so games, basically.

[Shindig]

Has chess ever got violent? That'd be the point where I start watching.

[randomlegend]

Magnus has had some pretty feisty moments, I can tell you.

[Don]

I am also terrible at chess.

The test was a dud.

[Jimmy Floyd]

All chess does is test your ability to play chess.

[Andy]

Magnus has had some pretty feisty moments, I can tell you.

He is one of the GOAT fantasy football managers. I think he finished 10th out of 8 million a couple of years ago.
