Both professional activities and hobbies
For example… If a new hire is introduced as “good at Python and C++” at work, what does this imply about the person’s skill level in your opinion? Or if someone says they are a “good runner”, what would come to your mind? Or is it field-dependent?
Asking because sometimes I’m not sure if I am under/over-exaggerating my own abilities when meeting new ppl at work/etc…
Comments like that say far more about the person saying it than about the person being described most of the time, I’d say.
I’d need to know how good the describer is like in that area before I could make any assessment about the describee.
