67% of respondents think they're less sexually-active than the average of their flist? What does that say about how much we talk about stuff?
I think it says we talk more about sex we're having than sex we're not having, maybe?
I totally have to confess that I think I'm smarter than most people, but my flist is fiendishly intelligent, so I'm "as smart" or "less smart" than it
*grins*
Then you're probably right. Studies have shown that people can estimate the intelligence of others in ordinary conversation with startling accuracy, especially in general categories of "smarter than me" and "less smart than me." I do wonder, though - lots of people are saying they didn't want to say they were smarter than their friends list, even if they thought they were. So that stat is way skewed, I think.
I look forward to seeing your analysis of all this!
I look forward to figuring out my analysis of all this. Shiny, shiny data to process!
