Hehe, I suppose that if I have to ask, it's probably not a good sign about my own "sigma", but what's this +3 sigma stuff anyways?

From what I understand, it must be some way to asses someone's intelligence, like the IQ, but I've never heard of it.

Come to think about the IQ, it follows a normal distribution, and sigma is how we note standard deviation. Is this the kind of sigma you are talking about?

I don't know what it is either, but guessed along the lines you are guessing. Of course, a Z-value of 3.09 would put you in the 99.9 percentile, so that seems far fetched.

I think you are correct with your assumptions. But I think he needs to explain himself in this department. I didn't think it added any value to his post since it is unsupported. Maybe he could have quoted his GPA, or IQ[still dubious]. I think most people don't put their trust in numbers either way, they go for what did you accomplished[especially VC, they want to know the numbers behind your financial efforts]. I was quite surprised at how hard some of the other posters judged his "big picture" evaluation. I think maybe he has a problem with acting not thinking. I think he knows what to do, but just simply not doing it.
