50 People Shared What Puts Them In The Top 1% Of The Population

I’m an American of North Korean descent

My actual name. My last name is one of the rarest in the country and I am the only person with my name out of the entire population.

I'm albino.

So apparently my left eye is 32mm. The average size is 21-27mm. My eye doctor said it was neat.

I am a super recogniser. Super recogniser is a term coined in 2009 by Harvard researchers for people with significantly better-than-average face recognition ability. I am not in 1 percent to be precise actually, it is around 2% but wanted to share anyways.

There is a free online test for you to check if you are one as well.

If you make 40k a year and have no debt... Wealth, globally speaking.

Eyesight. I have 20/10 vision, turns out only about 1% of people have better than normal 20/20 vision.

I'm a totally in the 0.2% of something. People who have a rather nasty reaction to the blood thinner, Heparin. Lost half my toes because of how lucky I am.

Grandmaster in league of legends (0.02%) 😎, this results in not having a social life or girlfriend so don’t recommend.

Degrees. I have a BA, MA, JD and two PhD's. If I'm not mistaken, less than 1% of the world has that many (and neither should I).

I can stop my hiccups on command.

Birth control. 99% effective right? I'm living proof of the 1% XD.

(It's cool though, my parents never acted like they didn't want me.).

According to Amazon, I'm in the top 1% of kindle readers. They keep track of these things and within the last couple years started sharing the info with users as seasonal "Achievements."

At the end of the Spring season, they sent out emails with the final data: from April 1st to June 31st I read:

74 days

For a total

193 hours.

I don't really have a social life. As though that wasn't clear enough from the stats

I’m of the .002% of people with osteopoikilosis. This freaked the s**t out of me because when I was diagnosed the first thing the doctor said was “wow I’ve never seen this in anything but textbooks before”...

I'm one of around 1% of people directly related to Swedens great king Gustav Vasa, still living. I'm one of 100k people.

I have AB- bloodtype. Less than 1% of the worlds population have it.

Im the 1% of the top students in my stem high school.

Hyperhidrosis. Excessively sweaty arm pits for no reason. I could be sitting there completely at ease and sweat rolls down my sides from my pits. I have found a product to fix the issue however I know no one else who has the same issue personally.

Not as interesting or cool as others but im in the 1% of the population that has no immunity to Rubella even though ive been vaccinated for it several time. Apparently some peoples bodies dont take to some vaccinations. Fine with everything else like mumps measels etc its just the rubella.

Ive also got type 2 duanes symdrone in my right eye. Duanes being a uncommon eye condition anyway, right eye being least common to have it in an type 2 the least common of its type out of the 3 types. Won the duanes lottery with that one.

I held a 2nd place world record for the Mushroom Gorge time trial in mariokart Wii for 15 minutes.

Edit: thanks for all the replies! Didn’t know this would touch the hearts of many!
