I think 6 is a good guess, trying to figure out what I rank more underrated.

Remaining calm when under pressure, active listening, etc are more useful in life. Changing a tyre is good, what... few times a year depending on the terrain you drive on etc. Cost for getting it changed - typically free through breakdown coverage.

Is it useful, yes, is it good to have in general, yes, do you NEED it? No. So, with that, it's never an overrated skill, but I just feel higher, like marginally higher - 7/8

It is not "important vs unimportant" skills, its "under vs overrated"

Like where would you put "the ability to read in your native language" on this?
It is very important but also ~universally recognized as such. So 14?

This category is wack imo.

I have no problem with saying higher. Odds are in our favor in that direction if nothing else.

I agree with mets, I haven't got a clue how to change a tyre and I never will know - but I will go through my entire life without needing to know lol

Higher for me

No apology necessary. That was a brutal scale to try to clue for.

How cold is it in Alaska during winter months? Something like an ice bath or cryogenic stuff would be 1/2

Maybe 4?

Very cold. Basically hes going for almost the coldest earth gets.

Is nails the type of guy where 1 is absolute zero?

4-5 is probably about right

I’d be 3 on this too.
Colder places would be Antarctica, Greenland and probably Russia.

Alaska has got to be top 5 surely

and Pluto....

I think being on the extreme end of this category is a high roll and I'll be shocked if we don't score.

It is never 1 so in a sense 3 wastes in the low end of the range. 4 might be safer but marginally less likely to be exactly correct.

3-4 are both fine to me. I'm slightly leaning 4 but I'll let somebody else bold this round. Both should score points.
