    Occasionally there will be a post something like, “If there were one stat above everyone’s head what would you want it be?”

    I’d want it to be a measure of the accuracy of a person’s self-perception compared to the consensus of everyone else. A 1 would indicate a perfect alignment between your self-perception and others. A 0 would be a complete misalignment.

    Somewhere I’m guessing around the 0.2 mark we start disqualifying people from certain jobs, like leading national policy.

    I think an ability to accurately self assess maps to higher empathy and intelligence.

    This fucker bottoms out the scale.

      I’d go for 1 to -1 with 0 as correct perception, 1 as complete delusion (egotistical) and -1 as complete delusion (low self esteem). Too far from 0 is a problem, but a -.5 is a lot easier to deal with than a .5
