Interesting detail. I wish somebody would do a similar study on politicians ;-) as I suspect their heightened likelihood of narcissism and ego-mania would show they REALLY think they are better than average. Funny, that a previous comment you made was about my mentioning the mathematics of the driver study (where a large majority think they are better than average drivers), which THIS articled also takes as solidly proved.... though, like me, they also gloss over median and mean.
