Gawd, this is going to sound arrogant...
I would ask the question as OriginalGriff! I'm glad to say that I know there is a heck of a lot I don't know, and I'm not ashamed to admit to ignorance1. It's just that generally, when I don't know something, the act of writing out the question normally gives me a couple of directions to think about and check before I post it, and that normally resolves the question anyway! 
When I was young, I knew that I knew everything, and that old people knew nothing. Fortunately, as I have got older, I have realised that there is more that I don't know than there is that I do, and that the amount of stuff I don't know appears to be increasing faster than I can learn it! Which has to be good for a non-boring future...
1 I have nothing against ignorance: it can be cured by education. Stupidity on the other hand...
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

No, it does not sound arrogant. I makes perfect sense! (BTW: I'm not implying anything on *you* when I say *you* in my post!)
I also cultivate asking question - no matter how dumb they may sound. If you stop asking you lost enthusiasm and you better move on to something else...
Well, my example was maybe not the smartest one. I just wanted to give a hint that measuring this by counting data points (and interpreting such poll results) is kind of meaningless since too many other factors come in that are beyond the normal statistical noise...

First let's write an intelligent spell checker that would catch your misspelling of "ratio".

Grrr... this is my new typo style. due to over-usage of words that ends with 'tion'. (including the name of my company)

Even tough I've voted average, I believe I am somewhere in between average and above average.
I'm not master of dozens languages or API's or technologies, but I try my best to be an professional and craftsman.

Quote: I am somewhere in between average and above average
As soon as you get even a tiny bit above the average then you are "above average" by definition; there is nothing in between the two.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Not understanding that there isn't an option between > and == probably makes him below average

Average of my hometown? Of the company I work for? Average of the CP community? World average?
Are we talking about the number of languages I know? Am I better than someone who knows a little bit of ten languages while I know only two, but quite well?
And is someone who is fluent in C a better programmer than someone who is fluent in C#?
I voted above average because I'm by far the best at my company AND I got a set of skills that I don't necessarily need as a developer, but come in handy when doing my job. Like talking to customers and even make them like me 
It's an OO world.
public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

It's not important what's average of what (community, world, company, work)... It's important how do you feel it.

"Average" is everyone else.
