It’s a fact: 90 percent of us are in the top 10 percent

In a Business Week survey, some interesting results came out about worker esteem.

When they asked employees “Are you one of the top 10 percent of performers in your company,” 90 percent of employees said, “yes.”

Do the math.

91 percent of men answered “yes,” as did 89 percent of women and 93 percent of those over the age of 55.

Middle managers scored the “lowest” with a paltry 84 percent.

It seems that we have an elevated opinion of ourselves.

And we know that this kind of thinking isn’t reserved to just the workplace. Romans 12 says this. “I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.”

Are you in the top 10 percent? What do you base your answer on? Do we need a ‘reality check?” Drop us a note here with your thoughts.
