About 4 years ago, age 30, I noticed a sensation of recession in my life. While I’d become used to being in the top 10% of most groups I was in, I was suddenly scoring in lower percentiles. These measures are mostly qualitative and subjective, though they occasionally were quantitative—for example, I scored in 99th percentiles in standardized testing in elementary school, and probably high school.
