Neat. I don't have time to read the article right now. But I was curious how they measured the perceived scores. How did they ask the participant what they thought there score was?

Re: The Smell of a Fish
In other words, these results are suspect.
They seem alright to me.
I've noticed that people here who are very wrong tend to be very confident.
For me, I always scored in the 99th percentile on standardized tests that we took back in the day. But I never thought I was smarter than anybody else. Over the years though, I've been in groups of people faced with a problem and threw a thought out there for a solution and the group resonds with: "hot damn, where'd you come up with that, you're really smart." That's happened quite a few times now and I'm just now starting to believe them. But then I feel dirty for being cocky.
