Sorry for the late reply. It's been sitting in my Lemmy notifications for a long time and I didn't properly read it until now. Thanks for having take the time to explain how the total amount of people who incorrectly assess themselves regarding the mean/median can be broken down.

Also, the discussion regarding the validity of intelligence was interesting. After reading the Wikipedia entry, it's clear to me that it's a limited metric, if not a wholly invalid metric.
