How athletic are you?

[ QUOTE ]
Why isn't it surprising that most of the online respondents consider themselves extremely athletic? Something tells me a body fat test would garner much different results... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

This was a major motivation behind my posting this poll. I suspected these results, however, maybe all the unathletic people don't browse the sports forum.

Wow, that's an astounding coincidence. Apparently, the fittest people in the world are those who spend all day at a poker table or in front of a computer.

If people were being honest with themselves, those results would be inverted, with 40% in the lowest group and 4% in the highest.

I wanted a comparison, since I put up an IQ poll in the SMP forum. We have a lot of people with an IQ over 145 there. I believe a lot of people have a distorted self-image.

[/ QUOTE ] Oddly enough half of the time I spend playing poker online I do while on the treadmill. I find that I don't go on tilt as easily. Of course I did vote 41-60% [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Am I the only one that thinks these results are probably inverted?

I think a big problem with this poll is that "athletic" is actually pretty vague. It's not clear if by athletic you're referring to inate talent or current fitness level.

Someone who knows that they're athletic because they were an All Conference receiver in high school will still think they're 80-100% even if they've put on some weight. Someone else who may suck at any coordination requiring sport but who lifts and runs and is in good physical condition will also put 80-100%. I think therein lies the problem.
