Do you consider yourself intelligent?

I would consider myself a person of above average intelligence, but then again, I've done some pretty stupid things in my life, which would seem to suggest otherwise.

On a purely IQ level though, I'm definitely above average.

Yes, but I'm ugly.wemhim

Im smart on paper, but everywhere else im slower than a sloth on tranquilizers.

You can't be very intelligent if you're conservative.

That was a joke. But I'm really slow, my brain can be described as lazy. Like me. I put in average since I'm decent at math.

I couldn't possibly be any less intelligent, seriously, I've met monkeys with more basic knowledge than I have. Also, I'm uninteresting, and my taste in clothing is highly suspect...:cry:

Did I mention how uninteresting I am? My dog makes me look pretty pathetic, it sucks waking up every morning knowing your dog is going to say more interesting things than you could ever say :cry: :cry: :cry:

They coined the phrase "drooling moron" about me :cry: :cry: :cry:

In terms of book smarts: hell no

Although I'm fairly knowledgeable about games. So I guess that boosts up my intelligence a bit.

Id say top 2% of most people in Intelligence.

I can only really judge my own intelligence on how others intellect appears in comparison to mine. And besides my Dad, I'm probably the smartest person I know.

Like If I make a joke with my friends, some will get it and some don't. I think Wit is a good judge of intelligence IMO

Did I mention I eat Fruit Loops?

It helps.......

That depends. I gather you mean academic intelligence? What about emotional intelligence?

Most people have decent academic intelligence, even if they aren't smart enough to be bothered to get a degree and a real job. But most people terrible emotional intelligence. You see them all the time, people like high school sportsmen and women who get into a decent university in a good course like medicine or engineering but inside, they are little more than children. They think like children.

Academic intelligence is over rated and misunderstood. Being skilled at maths, or science, does not make one intelligent. Most academic studies are simply paterns and theories to be memorised and learned. If you think that you are intelligent simply because you get good grades is very sad indeed.

True intelligence is more linked into concepts like design and creativity. I'm not talking about talent for writing stories or painting pictures, but more along the lines of visualising advanced concepts and developing on them. You'll see what I mean if you go to a real university and not some community college or polytechnic. You'll see smart ones come and go and at the end of it all, the people who stay and get the research grants and make real progress in their particular lines are not necesarily the ones who get straight A's.

However, often the ones who get straight A's are the ones who also possess the characterists just prescribed :D
