Apart from which, surely being “not too bad” and “middle of the pack” are pretty well the same thing.

maybe it’s just another dunning kruger type effect so rankings are less meaningful because instead of a range of happiness from 0=absoluteZeroHappy to 1=perfectlyHappy the actual range is 0.67 to 0.71 and so rankings just capture noise for the 96%=most part
