t!

Is it because people who like video games have to be smarter than most people? It just seems weird to me that most of the people in here seem smart even though other people would just think that we're kind ofshut-ins people but it seems like we're actually kind of smart.

maybe not 'smart', but certainly outspoken (on message boards at least)

How exactly do you define "smart"? Do you mean "smart" as in like intelligent and tech-savvy?Or do you mean "smart" as in nerdy and obscure?

To answer you're topic question, I'm in high school. I just finished my freshman year (it literally ended yesterday) with a 4.0 GPA both semesters. I'm also in the Gifted Education program. So, you could make the claim that I am "smart," but I tend to be a humble guy and I don't like talking about my strengths.

Umm... I don't know. Just smart I guess. I mean if you know a lot of stuff then you're smart.

It doesn't, but you would be surprised how many people have that mentality (whether they realize it or not).

Wow, a 4.0 in the Special Education program? That's kind of really good, isn't it? I don't know anyone in those classes but I know they're hard to get good grades in because the classes sometimes count for college credits. Are you planning on going to college too?

In my high school, you don't take gifted education classes. There's just a program for gifted students. It opens up scholarship opportunities and other sort of things. I did take a couple honors classes though.

Nope, no smartness here. I was (and still) a C average student. I am in community college right now. I also know what topics to not participate in so I guess I am smart enough to stay out.

We do what we can to learn from the seemingly infinite source of information that is the Internet. Don't know if that makes us intelligent or not, but we do the best we can.

Finishing Secondary school now, going to enter college next year.

The only reason why we seem "smart" is because all of the "dumb" users either get banned or get out-debated to the point of being sick of arguing with anybody, which pretty much stops them from even trying. I doubt that the average I.Q. for Gamespotters is significantly greater than the average I.Q. for the populations of our societies of origin, it's just that we hold discussions all the time and the intelligence is given a chance to show itself.

im an engineering student in senior year at university, but i would never equate being educated to being "smart". smart is a very ambiguous term in the first place, and often thinking yourself to be unknowledgeable is the best way to learn there's a quote in there somewhere but i have no idea who it was

To be quite honest I see many people who appear "smart", but really just sound like morons because they either misuse words (really common) or screw up their grammar; they try to go all fancy with the semicolons.

I like how you're not afraid of counting yourself with the crowd TC. And I am through with High School and University, I am now a grown up person, who works to live etc. That's not very smart of me.

Just because someone "sounds" smart, does not mean their statements and arguments hold any validity whatsoever. Also, just because someone goes to college doesn't make them automatically intelligent. Also, just because someone uses "big" words in an argument does not mean they are wrong on the sole basis that they are trying to mask their argument with words that no one else can define. However to answer your question, I am currently attending college.

Most 'outspoken' people are sophists.

And most are woefully ignorant.

Just finished high school with a 4.08 gpa. Graduated 36 of 470, advanced with honors diploma. I got scholarships totalling about $50,000 to the University of Alabama. That said, I still think PC gaming isn't worth it.

I'm not sure that most people on these forums are "smart". It seems like for every intelligent person there is an unreasonable fan-boy. I would assume the majority of responses on the forum are written well, because most of the posters are older than sixteen.

I'm in high school (but only taking college classes) by the way.
