Survey: do you work better than your average colleague?
About 7 years ago I came across the results of a study on university teachers in the USA. For some sample, respected teachers were asked a simple question: do you think that you work better than your average colleague?
94% of university professors said that YES, they work better.
(Before writing the article, I tried to find the source, but failed. It seems that I read in the paper Harvard Business Review, but there is no complete certainty.)

Not so long ago, my colleague Slavapankratov and I discussed this topic in relation to career advancement and the adequacy of self-esteem. Honestly, it became very interesting how things are in our industry.
In short, we decided to conduct a mega-survey with us. It is clear that the understanding of what “average” means is that everyone has his own, but as you think, answer like that. A simple survey - thank you in advance!
PS Data on statistics on teachers of universities of the United States were removed from the article shortly after its publication, so as not to affect the opinion of the participants in our survey. At that time, the distribution was 52% YES, 48% NO (with 648 voters).
And indeed, the trend has changed. At 18:38 on September 14, 2014, the results are as follows: 57% YES, 43% NO (5,553 voters).
94% of university professors said that YES, they work better.
