Those are the exact same questions and similar answer to how most guys evaluate their "score with the ladies".

I went for "above average", simply because I know that I am better than anyone I have worked with. But then, we all know we are - don't we?
Without knowing what the "average" is exactly, it's difficult (if not impossible) to be "honest" and "accurate" - but if you use the standard of code in QA as a guide, then my cat is "above average" and I would be "god-like"...

Let's write a web-crawler that measures everyone's ration ratio of "Questions Asked vs. Questions Answered", to see where everyone stands.

The problem with that is that it doesn't measure the quality - just the quantity. I have two questions posted - and they are both non-trivial. But there are a lot of very, very trivial answers out there, many of them copies of an existing solution: some of those are mine as well. Heck, I have a small database of "standard answers" to common questions, and I tend to write a simple Tip for more complex "common questions" so my answer is just a link to that. Does that count as a "good answer" each time, or just once? A webcrawler isn't going to be able compare quality!

Agreed: counting gives bad results. E.g. I wonder if you "dare" to still ask a question on CP? Your questions date back to a time where you were a "no-body" in terms of CP. I think this is kind of a trap: when you have a certain "reputation" (e.g. to be above average by some means), you think you cannot afford to ask "dumb" questions anymore - at least in your ecosystem. You get the answers to your questions from elsewhere or under a pseudonym or...?

Gawd, this is going to sound arrogant...
I would ask the question as OriginalGriff! I'm glad to say that I know there is a heck of a lot I don't know, and I'm not ashamed to admit to ignorance1. It's just that generally, when I don't know something, the act of writing out the question normally gives me a couple of directions to think about and check before I post it, and that normally resolves the question anyway!
When I was young, I knew that I knew everything, and that old people knew nothing. Fortunately, as I have got older, I have realised that there is more that I don't know than there is that I do, and that the amount of stuff I don't know appears to be increasing faster than I can learn it! Which has to be good for a non-boring future...
1 I have nothing against ignorance: it can be cured by education. Stupidity on the other hand...

No, it does not sound arrogant. I makes perfect sense! (BTW: I'm not implying anything on *you* when I say *you* in my post!)
I also cultivate asking question - no matter how dumb they may sound. If you stop asking you lost enthusiasm and you better move on to something else...
Well, my example was maybe not the smartest one. I just wanted to give a hint that measuring this by counting data points (and interpreting such poll results) is kind of meaningless since too many other factors come in that are beyond the normal statistical noise...

First let's write an intelligent spell checker that would catch your misspelling of "ratio".

Grrr... this is my new typo style. due to over-usage of words that ends with 'tion'. (including the name of my company)

Even tough I've voted average, I believe I am somewhere in between average and above average.
I'm not master of dozens languages or API's or technologies, but I try my best to be an professional and craftsman.

Quote: I am somewhere in between average and above average As soon as you get even a tiny bit above the average then you are "above average" by definition; there is nothing in between the two.

Not understanding that there isn't an option between > and == probably makes him below average

Average of my hometown? Of the company I work for? Average of the CP community? World average?
Are we talking about the number of languages I know? Am I better than someone who knows a little bit of ten languages while I know only two, but quite well?
And is someone who is fluent in C a better programmer than someone who is fluent in C#?
I voted above average because I'm by far the best at my company AND I got a set of skills that I don't necessarily need as a developer, but come in handy when doing my job. Like talking to customers and even make them like me
It's an OO world.
public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

It's not important what's average of what (community, world, company, work)... It's important how do you feel it.

"Average" is everyone else.
