Based on the papers I've graded, I think he's lowballing it a bit.

Of course none of the volounteers are per definition in any top something. Neither do I belive that it has anything to do with their beliefs of own intelligence. Seriously, KH is a bright guy, but you should have a very low selfesteem if you were to take his ranking seriously. His ranking is nothing but a highly subjective and prejudiced list primarily based on what he has read on Poly OT
I volountereed just for the fun of it and to see what a stranger that knows nothing about me would say.
Personally I have enjoyed these threads. I am surprised at how long the concept has lasted
Yep, it has been quite entertaining, and I actually think that it says more about KH than anybody else
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I doubt it actually says more about me than about the people I rank. They're both important effects.
If you lay as much as an iota of seriousness in this ranking, then it says a lot about you.

Flubber, all this QFT'ing me might hurt my ranking - pleeze don't do it.
