OT: How athletic are you?

Please answer...This poll was also made on the sporting events forum.
How athletic are you compared with ppl of your age and gender.
EDIT: on the sporting events most ppl answered they were really athletic, so if I do the poll here I will know if ppl werent honest evaluating themselves.

How can we honestly identify what percentile we're in if we don't know what we're up against?

To all the people who say that they're in the top 20%, I don't usually see a lot of buff poker players.

Being in the top 20% isn't exactly a huge feat when you consider just how many people are terribly unathletic, uncoordinated, and out of shape.

its not asking about pure physical fitness, but also athleticism which includes hand-eye coordination, agility etc. anyways i put myself down as top 20% because im a varsity athlete at my uni.

Give us a little more concrete understanding of what it means. Are we talking about how long you can run without getting tired? How fast you can run a mile? How much you can bench press? What?

By the results, we're either a bunch of fat slobs, or people are misunderestimating the meaning of percentile.
