What are you in the top 1% of?

...People who like kinnnnd of really like penguins:penguin:
Cue sports. Considering that there are 7.53billion people in the world and 1% of that is 75million, I do play at high county level and I'm rated a B+ player in pool, and I just struggle to believe that there are 75million people in this world that are better at it than me.
'numerical skills', apparently, had some sort of test thing at school and my numeracy skills ranked above very high, somewhere around top 1% (although I'd imagine that's for my year group, not the entire world, although it wasn't knowledge based). Don't know how useful 'numeracy' is though (would rather have abstract problem solving skils). I'm really good at mental maths, and that's about it lol

still failed my further maths a level though haha

I just typed a list of about 40 things and it just disappeared, so I'm going to say a lot of things and a lot of video game things.

£26k ($32,400) would put you in the top 1% worldwide on salary (see here). Average UK full-time earnings are over that.
It's £620k ($770k) for the top 1% in wealth (including investments, e.g. pension funds).

Many people talk about the 1% (money) as if it's some evil group hording the world's funds, without realising that being born in the UK (/ West) makes you very likely to be one of them fairly young.


the salary thing is relative tho. you can do a lot more with 26k in sub Saharan Africa surely -these percentages should be adjusted for where you live.

Why are you still using windows 7 in 2019?
Is this relative to the whole world, or to the people who do the activity?

If whole world, possibly chemistry?
If it's the people who do the activity, nothing! Actually maybe neopets in my heyday. And number of teddy bears... :biggrin:
Top 1% of active TSR users. Like I am literally online all the time except when I sleep aha.

What activity/ability do you have or do that you think you are in the top 1% of worldwide? It could be something academic, a video game, a sport, your job, salary etc. E.g. even though I'm not an expert, I think there's a chance that I'm in the top 1% for badminton ability if I consider how many people worldwide play the sport.

How about you?

Same here, I also have been told I have an extremely high level of 'numerical skills and reasoning', which is probably why maths and physics have always been my favorite subjects and I have always loved doing problems and logic puzzles since I was very young, and (not meaning to sound arrogant), I've only ever met one person better at mental maths than me(by better I mean can do calculations more rapidly with larger numbers), even though I perform better than him in tests and exams. I have also always scored highly in the Intermediate Maths Challenge and have entered both the Intermediate Kangaroo and Intermediate Olympiad, although I do know people who score higher than me on all of three these. Do you remember much about the test you took because I think I may have done something similar? When did you do the test?
Top 1% for nothing.

You don't need a trophy or ribbon to prove that your in the top 1% of something. You probably are but might not know what it is? And besides if you consider the amount of people globally who do the activities or the subjects you do then surely you probably qualify for top 1% of something?
Wait hold up a second, you are dyspraxic and you like maths? Well that’s extremely rare and I don’t know many of us if that’s the case 😂

I doubt. There’s always someone better at something than me. I’ve never been the best in a class or anything
