Title. How common do you think a chad is? I haven't seen one in public in a very long time. Even chadlites are hard to come by. What do you all think? In a group of 1000 random guys, how many are chads? My guess is anywhere from 1 in 100 to 1 in 1000, probably around in 1 in 300, so 3.
Before anyone does it, I think appealing to the normal distribution is dumb: just calculating what 3 SDs from the mean is in percentile terms means nothing -- there's no inherent reason why that looks level should be a whole number of standard deviations above the mean -- just ask yourself how commonly do you actually see them IRL? What % of your high school, uni, workplace, etc. are chads?
