    Things you are in the top/bottom 1% of

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
