Do I move like I'm yon-kyu ranked? No. Does anyone train with me at less than my ability? No. So, whatever...

Just a thought for whatever it's worth.
This may affect your fellow students. Imagine a 5th kyu looking at you and trying to decide if he/she is ready for 4th kyu. While we often decry the ego, it's just as often that the reverse is true and students are very insecure.
"You mean that's a 4th kyu? Boy, I really do suck."
