[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 5'9" and I'm not an extreme outlier in my workplace or social groups - lots of women are around my height, though rarely taller. My sister is an outlier at 5'11". I don't know who is included in the CDC average but I wonder if it's skewed by an older population (prior generations not as tall + older individuals shrinking).[/quote] This is a great example of how people just don’t understand statistics. Just because you seemingly have an extraordinarily tall immediate social group, doesn’t mean you aren’t an extreme outlier. You are extremely and unusually tall for a woman, at the 99th percentile. You are in fact the definition of an outlier. [/quote]
