I ran into a fellow last week who had a very high opinion of himself and, while I would agree that he certainly is good at what he does professionally, I didn't necessarily agree with his over-the-top self-opinion...or the way he pushed is self-perception of his own magnificence on others. It made me think about how people perceive themselves and how they act or portray themselves because of it.
I thought I'd propose three areas of evaluation being intelligence, physical appearance and general health. Reasonable places to start I think.
Me - Overall 7/10
As far as intellect goes - I'd say I'm exceedingly average. I make up for that averageness was by working hard, finding continual improvement and learning from failures and successes, discipline and persistence. So, I'm not super intelligent, but quite savvy so I'll say an 8/10 rating.
Physical appearance - I'm not easy on the eye (sort of like Shrek crossed with Hell Boy) but I try to present as well as I can. I don't think I have any standout physical features, no (visible) devils horns or anything, so I'd say I'm just a typical sort of bloke which means I'll rate myself as a hard 6/10
General health - I think I'm above average in this aspect. I look after myself, exercise hard and regularly and eat well all the time. I have a low alcohol I take and don't smoke cigarettes which helps stay healthy. Considering this and my general attituded towards a healthy mind, body and lifestyle I'm going to assess myself as 9/10 in this aspect.

I'm going to go ahead and disagree with your physical appearance score...those little freckles, that winning smile and kind eyes you have in the picture above...I think a 9.5/10 is where you score. The vampire teeth help also. 🙃
Becca 🌷
It's the freckles...they add just the right amount of charm 😀
Kind of cute right?
I'd buy him a drink...or probably a cheesecake, that would work better I think.
Becca 🌷
Yep, he's a keeper for sure! Keep that cheesecake flowing 😄
Well now, this is good for my confidence; I'm not sure I agree but I'll take it.
Intelligence - 9.87/10 | Physical 0/10, Health 2/10
So overall that is 11.87/30 = 3.95/10
I'm a wizard.
While I eat healthy and train hard, I do not get enough sleep.
My brain runs from me faster than I can chase it.
I eat too much on the binge, and there's more visceral fat on my body than I like. I'm a work in progress.
0 for physical? Isn't that dead?
On the inside, yes ;)
3.95...Seems solid.
😂
That's being very harsh on yourself
If I am my own worst critic, nothing anyone else says can ever hurt me :P I am awful at accepting praise :)

Your beard alone is worth 7 points on the Physical. Maybe because it camouflages what's below, but that doesn't matter.
Sounds like you met my youngest XD Though in his case I think there's some low self esteem happening though with his brain glitches he will never, ever admit that (or at least not right now, he might do in the future as that's been happening a bit lately too, he's annoying me right now because he usually hyperinflates himself while simultaneously putting everyone else down).
Intelligence: 6 (too many brain glitches but apparently the masking and workarounds developed make people think I'm smarter than I am x_x)
Physical appearance: 5 (that's average right?)
General health: 7? (lower than I want but apparently above average)
6? Come on I reckon you're probably more than that, but modesty becomes you.
I've noticed the health aspect is where so many seem to be lacking and with life being more sedentary I'm not surprised. It's a good place to start improving I guess.
As for your son, hopefully the self-hyperinflation and putting others down thing wears off, it's not a left behaviour I think.
Int - 6-7
Phy - 5-6
Hea - 4-5
Ego - 34
Good numbers...if my limited intellect serves me correctly that's exactly 1,592/10.
The math isn't mathing... Ego - 5, Modesty - 34.
I think you're being hard on yourself, you're one of the most attractive cartoon vampires on Hive. Easily.
Hahaha, I'm not sure I'm intelligent enough to understand what the baseline is... am I comparing myself against other people (in which case it might speak more to the people I surround myself with) or my perception of people in general (which likely speaks more to how kindly I view others) or how close I am to my various goals (where the audacity of my goals is being measured)?
Maybe what's being measured is how happy you are with yourself at this moment, which could literally change in a minute... but I'll play.
Intelligence - 7/10 - I'm happy with my perceptiveness and I'm happy with my general quickness of wit, but I haven't been learning things I'm trying to learn as quickly as I'd like so that's frustrating. Unfortunately I know enough about things like climate change and economics to feel a lot of anxiety about the future, so that's not so fun. Life would be a lot easier if you could just unlearn some things.
Physical appearance - Fortunately for me, physical appearance seems less important to the people I meet than overall vibes and general funness levels.
General health - I've been extremely lucky that I've never had surgery and don't have any big medical issues (that I'm aware of). I don't smoke or drink (I'm not opposed to it, I'm just too much of a lightweight for it to be fun) and work out every day (I don't train hard but I am very consistent). I don't eat as well as I'd like but we have a weird routine at the moment which makes it difficult.
I have to say, I certainly "vampire" with the best of them.
Your assessment seems fair, I mean you gave it to yourself so it has to be as accurate as you perceive it to be.
I've never evaluated myself this way before, but it's interesting... Let's see:
Intelligence 8/10, I don't know everything and I'm slower at some things, but I don't give up.
Physical appearance 7/10, I'm not a model, but people tell me I look 30, with a very good appearance, figure, elegance and femininity.
Health 9/10, I haven't been ill for years, not even a cold. I have a very strong immune system, I take good care of myself and try to exercise as much as possible.
I suppose overall... 8/10, there's always room for improvement.
8/10 is reasonable, means there's room to develop and that's one of the keys to a fulfilling life I think, continual improvement.
I always say that my mission here on earth and in this life is to learn and improve, transcend and evolve. And I believe that this is true for everyone. We are not born knowing everything; rather, we come here precisely to learn. It is as if life were a school.
I'm going to say a solid 6 out of 10. It's likely my intellect and humor that propel me that high!
6/10...fair call. Above average but not enough to make you seem like you're being boastful.
Intelligence I'd say 9/10, not for being arrogant but when talking to others I come immediately to some logic conclusion while the others barely make it loads of time later or I foresee a lot of stuff that others don't even imagine... The average intelligence is pretty low
Phisical appearance I'd say average so 6,5/10
Health, hm lol 4/10
Overall 7/10
9/10? You're fucken smart then...I'm not surprised, you seem like a switched on dude.
So, I see some room for improvement in the health area, not an easy one I guess, from a motivation perspective anyway, but waiting until something bad happens is probably the worst way to go about it - best to set some good habits in place before things go pear shaped.
I'll tell you this anecdote, when I was like 8 years old, at school the teacher would give use written texts as tests with a topic, sort of what you do with weekend engagement, she was very political and biased, others were naive and kids after all so they would get all low scores, I was smart enough to write what she WANTED to hear and always had good scores... My parents then asked why I was the only one like this and I said them like "i write what she wants to read not what I really think"
On the health side, I don't smoke or drink alcohol, I should need to eat more vegetables, and do some sport but I totally lack time for the latter... The low score is also due to some born with conditions that have been giving troubles 😕
Smart, that's generally all school teachers look for...not independent thought, just people to act like sheep, which is why society is so fucked right now.
Eat dem vegetables...put them on a pizza and it's all good!
Yeah teachers don't develop critical thinking on kids, just the blind "think how I think, be a sheep" like you said... Some people say that school should only be doing only 'teaching' and 'education' should be only for the family, looking at how fucked up we are, that could be the solution
Haha I just had pizza yesterday evening!
Fuck man, I could really go some pizza but it's difficult for me considering my medical condition. I tend to make them at home though, less carbohydrates that way, I can control the situation better.
Home made is the way, sourdough starter and rye whole wheat flour, togheter with poppy, pumpkin and flax seeds, helps reduce impact of carbs... I dunno if there are low carbs preparations there though, like 5gr carbs per 100gr, here you can find them in some shops
11Maybe 6 or 6.5I may not be the most intelligent but here I am saved by the fact that a large part of humanity is fucken crazy. So I think that I should score like 6.5 or 7.
Physical appearance- if you think you look like like Shrek maybe I look more like a donkey and kung fu panda mixture? In that case I rate myself 6 as well.
General health- I do some pull-ups from time to time. I eat some junk food like pizza but not all the time. I barely ever drink and I don't smoke. My eyes are weak and my back sometimes hurts but other than that my physical health is good. Maybe 7?
Good point...most humans are a fucken 2/10 at best so a 6.5 is a good score.
It seems like you've got some good scores and it's good that you limit your junk food intake; some now and then is ok, but too much is detrimental to the health.
For intelligence, maybe IQ 8, but EQ 6, so let’s call it 7.
For physical appearance, I think I look dorky but my wife thinks I’m handsome. She might need new glasses. Let’s split the 0/10 here and call it a 5.
General health: at best a 6. Several underlying health conditions, but I hit 10k steps a day fairly often.
So on average 6.
A good assessment indeed. It made me think about what our partners would answer to the same questions if asked in respect of us. I wonder if they'd align, be higher or lower scores.
Overall: 6.83 / 10.
Intelligence: 8.5 / 10.
My base stats could had been intelligence, I was smart as a kid eager to learn and got good brains to start my journey with. This got my great carreer opportunities that I didn’t grasp.On hindsight I spend my time too much on side quests to fully develop my potential by choosing where to specialize in.
Physical appearance: 7.5 / 10.
I would say I was always average looking (6 / 10) but got being fit working for me. While at my younger years everyone was fit so I would rate myself then as average. People in my age group in my country right now are considerably less in shape making me look way younger than them.
Health: 4.5 / 10.
Physical health pretty good - no big issues.
Mental health some more severe challenges. But working on that in a quite intense program right now. Would hope to be able to rate that with a decent/good score in a year.
That's a good call on the physical aspect in that so many people in today's society are so out of shape it makes those who are slightly above average seem so much higher up the scale.
Health though, 4.5/10...I reckon you've got some solid room for improvement there. Mental health is a difficult area to address effectively so it's good you've got yourself into a solid program that will help you move it forward.
Well, I've never thought of rating myself, so I'll gladly do it now.
Intelligence: I own a good brain so far that have allowed me learning fast and deep a thing or two, even when motivation sometimes gets in the way, so I'll rate myself with a 7/10, taking into account I know I haven't reach my full potential and it ain't too late. It's never too late to learn one more thing.
Physical appearance: I'm not an athletic body one, even when I have spent some time in my life doing exercise and sports, this latter for fun. However I've been said more than once I'm an attractive fellow and I often believe it as I stand in front of the mirror that saw me birth and still stands in my house. So, a 7/10 it is as well.
Health: I'm strong and healthy enough so far even with a couple of bad habits as smoking and drinking, also bot eating as good as I'd like or as I know it should be. Let's say a 6/10 for this one as I
Considering the environment. I'm not that bad. Cause I am overstrung.
Pretty good numbers...I wonder if anyone will rate themselves as 10/10?
Someone might. I don't think such a thing could exist though.
Intellect I'm definitely the highest one (see graph)
Physical appearance: If we adjust for personal grooming and hygiene; fashion sense and overall charm I can go as low as 6
Category 3, attention to detail: Definitely a 10.
And general health rating?
I smoked a pack a day for 12 years, but I've been off them for 13 now.
Way too much couch time and no cardio since the 90's, general aches and pains as 50 approaches. On the other hand I dodged those MRNA shots, so any heart damage is the old fashioned, burger and beer related sort.
Overall physical health I'm going to say 6, up from 5 at the start of the year.
Yeah, smoking doesn't do much for the health other than help it decline, good that you quit. A 6 up from 5 in a year is a good gain I think.
Although I want to believe that my health is at a good level, there is always that little snag, which does not give me peace and makes me doubt myself.
Isn't it a cold, allergy, inflammation of the muscle, toothache... Which is not so bad, because it reminds me that I must always carry out preventive measures...
There is a saying: "When everything is going great in your life, put a stone in your shoe that will sting you and remind you that everything is not always so great".
8/10.
What am I like as an appearance? I like to say: "I'm not handsome, but I'm awkward".
A little short, strong build, not overly handsome (certainly not narcissistic), I've always considered myself average.
6/10
And as for intelligence, although I've never taken an IQ test, I think my brains are doing well and my intelligence is at a higher level of 8/10
So overall, I would say 7/10 for myself.
An 8/10 brain is better than 7/10 so well done there; in fact, it seems you're going well all round so keep up the good work.
Hmmm...
Intelligence - Not sure what's a good metric.. If it's based on grades and IQ, maybe 7/10.
Physical appearance - I think I am just average. But for my self confidence, I would give myself 6/10.
General health - Ahh this is tough. My health has deteriorated the past 12 months. Definitely room for improvement it's 6/10.
Overall, I guess that's around somewhere between 6 to 7.
Ywpz 6/10 leaves room for improvement. After having written 6/10 have you decided to take any action and if so, what?
I have been prioritising my health and fitness lately, have set some goals (and have bravely put them on Hive) and watched my diet, but these are the smaller steps. On a longer term, am exploring some ideas but those will take time to materialise.
I love that your post contained humor and it was certainly engaging
My Rating:
Intelligence: I am pretty sound. I have good IQ and I'm also emotionally smart, so maybe a 7/10
Physical Appearance: I am a fine boy. 9/10
General Health: I workout often but its not consistent.
I don't eat poorly, I neither smoke nor drink too. So I give myself a 8/10 here
Average 🧮:
7+9+8/3 =8/10
I think its a fair score 😅
Thank you for making this both fun and for our self awareness !
8/10 is pretty solid I'd say, room for improvement but a good starting platform.
First of all, the way you represented everything is top-notch 🤞🏻. Humorous and witty!
Moving forward, for intelligence, I am average, maybe 6/10, I have to work extra hard to understand things, and to make things happen. If I dive further, there are things, I would rate myself 8 or maybe 9 for intelligence, but I'm not too good with a lot of talks, experiences, topics etc.
For physical appearance, thanks to my parents and their genes, I have a good personality. I would rate myself 8/10, because I don't want to sound arrogant 🥲.
For the health, it's high-tier. I would rate myself 10/10, gym and football is my everyday habit, with morning walk. I am workaholic 🥷.
An 8/10 for physical appearance? Sounds solid, good work there, but 10/10 for health? That's a big call sounds almost too good to be true. I'd say, being a workaholic isn't all that good for one's general health and wellbeing so I wonder if you've accounted for the negative impacts a workaholic can experience?
I guess, I went too far 🤭. Actually, I was addicted to vaping and cigarettes 2 years back. It had resulted in serious health concerns for me. I still remember, I was playing football and out of nowhere, I blacked out. Then, I had to go through a lot of testings, medicine, medications etc. And when, I compare myself to that version of mine, I just go hyperbole 😇. Now, I have a proper cycle for everything: sleeping schedule, diet plan, medication, study-time, and all other things. Plus, I'm in my mid-20s – energetic and motivated.
Peace 🕊
Have a good time!
Vaping is quite unhealthy, some say worse than smoking although they're probably both on par. It's good to hear that you realised it was not working well for you and that you made some changes - your mid-twenties is a perfect time to set some solid health plans in place and to apply discipline to those good habits.
LOL! Hi there! My overall rating would be an approximate 8/10.
Intelligence; average for me too. I get told a lot how smart I am, but that is not really intelligence, is it? There's a lot of factors flying around in my head as I type this, which I'd say determines intelligence, including general knowledge of every subject there is... on a peripheral and overall front though, I cannot describe myself as just 'not dumb' so yeah, 7/10.
Physically, again, from what I'm told, I look great. Not good, great. Face card, body, general physique, great. I know beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but there's some beauty that everyone beholds right? Like there's no doubt. LOL. I think mine is kinda like that. Emphasis on kinda, LOL. Yet again, I choose to believe that because I cannot describe myself as just 'not ugly,' I'm an 8/10.
Health wise, boy am I healthy! Haha, I run every morning, most mornings, not since I found myself in Scotland though, but I'll get back into it. I'm sure. Although I've got a sweet tooth, I know how to eat healthily. This love for sweet things has me hating on alcohol most of the time... I neither smoke nor engage in any unhealthy behaviour, except drink milk, etc., even though I'm lactose intolerant. 😟 Haha, so yeah, 9.98/10.
A 9.98/10...that's the highest score yet, you're a paragon amongst much lesser beings, the wheat amongst the chaff. Well done indeed.
😂 Why, thank you! Proud of myself, I must add. 😌
That's the way!
That 9 for health hits home, the low booze and steady training show discipline that pays off and it shows in your voice. For me, intelligence 7 out of 10 because ACcounting pushed me to think in systems and keep learning from errors. Physical appearance 5 out of 10, I clean up fine but the camera and me are not best freinds :) General health 8 out of 10, regular runs and simple meals, sleep like a grandpa', overall 7 out of 10 and trending up.
That's a good score, especially with the health aspect because so many don't focus on it. Well done.
The very best I give to myself psychologically is purr awareness, that yes I am still that progression algorithm type. So I give myself a boosting and productive whenever I have challenge my weaknesses, limitations and broke out of that certain hook. Either In relating to academics, finance or life growth I give a fair rating not because I'm been boastful but I believe so much on my craft and I learn more than I apply @galenkp so a fair rating to me is 7 over 10.
Not being boastful is good but I think it's also good to feel a degree of confidence in oneself and abilities, and certainly in how we feel about ourselves; having confidence means we're doing something right.
Solid 7/10 here. I have always been middle child, medium size in clothes. At times I have been brilliant and others... dumb as a box of rocks. I have been of decent health, with the best health during the army years. Now, I am rapidly ageing into the geriatric range, so the health is starting to go awry with normal issues, though keeping that in mind, am overall healthy. Appearance is so subjective lol. Again, average describes me perfectly. I can get spiffied up a bit if I want to trowel on a big ol' bunch of spackle, though!
7/10 - intelligence
As long as I can retain my remaining brain cells, I'll be golden in my golden years.7/10 - physical appearance
Some years are better'n others lol7/10 - general health
Uh this is an interesting one for a late evening. Let's see...
Intelligence - 7/10
I'm definitely above average, or maybe I'm just too stupid to realize I'm not. But I met many smart people that are at smarter than I, and at least one 10/10, so I go for 7. That counts for emotional intelligence, too.
Physical Appearance - 8/10
I got pretty lucky here. I don't even have to work a lot on perfect haircuts or stunning beards. The thing is, though, that I don't contemplate male beauty enough to really give a informed opinion here. When I dress up and/or walk next to my girlfriend, I might make a 9/10, though.
General Health - 10/10
Again, very lucky with my genes, which is weird since my whole family has illnesses. But I also work out a lot, eat very healthy and take care of myself. The only thing that might knock me down a point some day is beer. But that has become a lot less, too.
Overall: 25/30. That's 8.6 thanks to my health!
I am in the 5's
I would say 5 across the board on all of them. I am just an average everyday normal guy.
Jon Lajoie is just like me...
