I consider myself a formidable person. That is how I see myself. As far as being smart, or not smart. I'll leave that up to others to determine. As that is what they are made for: measuring, quantifying, and assigning value.
And I'd rather not do that for myself. IT hasn't done me any good.
I'm pretty book smart--but everyone I know continues to remind me that i'm the slowest, stupidest, most ditzy broad they've ever met. I guess I do have many dumb moments though.
Depends. If it's political stuff/history/anything of that sort I am awful. Hell once my history teacher in HS yelled incredibly bad at me because I said New England was below New York. I live in California :( Maybe I don't like history because of him, he got mad if you asked him questions.

Wow, what kind of people would say something like that? :?
Yes I actually consider that 99% of the people around me are extremely dumb...I feel very uncomfortable and angry when I hear some of my classmates sharing some of his/her stupidness and ignorance. for example...this girl in my class, she always gets good grades and all, but ofc its because she cheat on most of the exams or she studies like crazy...but this wont make you smart...you will only have that info in your brain for a time only and you wont remember it after a year because it was only for a exam. anyway the girl even went as a exchange student to the US and I wonder how in hell could she survive there because the girl has one of the crappiest english I've ever seen, her grammar, her vocabulary, her pronunciation, her accent, it all sucks badly. oh and she cant even pronounce "URSS" she prounce it "The urs" when its "The U.R.S.S" or the soviet union...but you cant pronounce URSS like "urs" because there are 2 S on it so you need to pronounce letter by letter

lol! People who would probably claim to know me better then I know myself. I dun let it bother me anymore--I may not be the smartest chica in the world but i'm definitely not the dumbest. = )
I don't think that I'm stupid, but I don't know if I'd call myself smart either. I'd certainly like to be smart, but I don't know if I am. If I ever was smart, I'm probably not smart any longer. I've gotten very, very lazy.
I'd say I'm certainly above average, but not to extent where people are astounded by my mental capabilities. I was very intelligent while I was school, but I seem to be rapidly losing intelligence, maybe because I'm not doing stuff like the weekly Math test to keep my mind sharp :lol:
