I’m with you on this. At the risk of sounding like an asshole, I can’t imagine anything that I am gonna be the worst at over 99 random people. I suck pretty bad at most things, but I have all my senses, fingers and toes and am fairly competitive by nature. I’d be surprised to ever see the bottom 10%.
Maybe going to the dentist. But that’s not a “skill”, it’s a choice.
I would expand that to any sport involving throwing, catching, hitting, or kicking a ball or any other object… including pool. Also any sport involving running or jumping. That doesn’t leave much.
Starting in childhood I was above average (but not great) at riding horses. Same with swimming. In high school I could ski at an intermediate level which I enjoyed tremendously.
The one athletic skill I could do very well was climbing that rope in the gym.
I was thinking not, “how good at this skill an i at this moment”, but “how good am i at this skill in a good day, or even, at my peak”. And I’m comparing to other people’s peak performance, not to “today”. So I’m completely ignoring babies and the infirm elderly, because they aren’t close to their peak ability.
You are right that there are also a lot of people who are just disabled, in one way or another.
