If you can answer this properly, you have my permission to vote in the next election in your nation, country, city or museum.

0.5 out of 10

hmm, well you show the ability to use a decimal point showing you have a grasp of . . .something. . .that I can't quite remember because I hated and detested math. Good enough, you can vote, enjoy.

Poorly.

Poorly.

In referencing the word "poorly" you show humility and the ability to capitalize the first word in a one word sentence. Good enough, you may vote at the next county fair or general election.

On a scale of one to ten, I would be....awesome.

In realizing that "awesome" is found somewhere between 9 and 10 you show an ability to grasp deeply fundamental truths. You have a pass to vote, use your power wisely.

why, thank you. And here I thought I was just quoting strongbad, but intead I have discovered a new numeral that lies somewhere between 9 and 10!

Every day brings a new discovery.

On a scale of one to ten, I'd give myself a Q. Either that or ~.

Hmm, now this is a toughy, " " presents me with several problems most of which I cannot speak for fear of mod intervention and I also don't have that key option on my computer, it is a Japanese computer and strange to me. However Q brings everything back to reality, it grounds you in that which is solid and of worth. You may vote for your bedrock like wisdom shall save the day/

Because I am omniscient, I rate my ability as a 10/10.

Tough call.

Most people are their own worst critics, and yet, cannot have an outsiders view of themselves.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "Rating ones self".

10/10, damn with good sight like that you can see very far and maybe around corners! Do you eat a lot of carrots? Of course you may vote, your excellent vision will see the dangers ahead.

By failing assess your ability you have com eclose to failing the test! However, being a friendly person (and rather weak willed) I will give you a second chance. :)

Excellent. And no, I don't eat carrots, because they taste exactly like the...no, this is one instance where I should not share my omniscience. Hooray for carrots.

Im afraid the only truthful answer I can give you is this one:

"I cannot know how others may see me."

Hmm, again a toughy. You put "know how" in your answer, showing you have gumption, get up and go! But you also include "see me" an obvious Oedipal slip in reference to your love of Simi Vally near LA. Now Simi Valley comes as close to pure evil as a city can so I am tempted to not allow you to vote. However, we must have all viewpoints, even Simi Valley ones so. . .you in. Enjoy your next election!

I rate myself a 4 but my ability to Rate is a high 10/10 so when i rate myself 4 its obviously a dead certainty. ;)

I admit a complete confusion. . .I think what is getting me is your capitalization of "rate", why? :confused: But, with a score like 10/10 with +4 added to your defensive roll I, I think you should be able to roll the dice in an election! You can vote!

I would rate it as the number of times I rate any of my abilities correctly divided by the number of times I try to rate my abilities.

and then I would change my mind.

An excellent example of word math. Of course word math is bad as is clearly stated in the US Constitution, Sect IV, somewhere in there. You did write "I" three times showing a healthy degree of self-interest. You pass, vote in good health.

Actually four times, or

sum( I ) = 4

if YOU prefer.

By actualizing your feelings of boredom you self-inflagrate your self-esteem! Remember to think positive and all will become clear in the near future. You can vote but we will be watching you, oh yes, watching! :eek:

The important thing is you tried to be witty (and you possibly confirmed the way to spell "witty" for me, I couldn't remember earlier and it worried me)! You get to vote you lucky guy/gal you!!!

I would be tempted to rate myself as indifferent, but then i am overwhelmed by the responsiblity of participating in this life, and must make my voice heard... so a 5/10, to preseve equilibrium.

5/10 is in fact the bonus answer!!!!!! Not only do you win the right to vote, you also win this shiny new thing I am holding here. It is shiny! And British!!!! Getting it to you will be a problem, are you free anytime in the next century?

Considering I'm actively trying to dismantle democrazy, my first thought was to rate myself 15 on a scale of ten. But I suppose that's just my motivation.
My abilty to accomplish my agenda is likely extremely low. Say 0.001 on said ten scale. That together comes to about 7.5005 on the ten scale...
This being a perfectly honest answer, to the best of my knowledge, I'd say my ability to rate myself is unsurpassed, hence I go way off any scale of measurement. And no I'm not the least bit confused by now.

Did I already say you could vote? I can't remember. . .oh well, your in too. A long rating like that show heavy thinking capabilities so you voting would be good.

So

If awesome is in [9..10]
and I = 4 while 5 = bonus
although Q --> reality

pi is divided by 10 yet 10 min is not enough

still 4 is 100%....

Thus IQ is 100% reality while the bonus is just slightly more than half-awesome

:confused: OMG. You were the kind of person I lived in fear of in university. The kind that could answer questions on that trig test, the one that cause me to return the blank paper to the prof and resign from the class.

I rate myself e². That should be Pi squared, but my browser won't display the symbol. So I chose the next best thing.

For reference, it would be ϖ².

I would give myself a 7/10 in the ability to rate the ability of others to rate themselves. Not perfect but right enough of the time to keep my job.

e to the power of two = 7.38905609893......

while pi to the power of two is 9.86960440109.........

then I =4 is not even the third best thing
