[Mitters]

In some area's I like to think so yes. Others no i'm dumber than a rock or simply don't care.

[Pony Soldier]

Probably not. I'm not dumb but I'm not the smartest guy around either.

[Gheld]

If I'm sober and well rested yes. Otherwise I'm derptastic.

[Valstorm Warsong]

Yes, I think i'm a undiscovered genius, but I suck at spelling.

[Vizardlorde]

Nope but people in my school were dumber than average so i stood out as the big fish in a small pond.

[Dug]

Personally I don't think so but I've been told I am. I don't even see a way to measure that besides arbitrary IQ tests or school grades, which mean fuck all for intelligence and only show how well you can retain and then regurgitate information.

But yeah nah I don't think so. I've never felt smarter than my peers

[Deleted]

According to some iq test I did some time ago, yes. It was only a part of the real mensa test though, so I don't think it was accurate.

[GennGreymane]

Its hard to say. Too many factors. I am 120 IQ and in Law School, but I am a very oblivious person.

[Sesshomaru]

Yes, when my ego kicks in. And yes, in comparison to my family, I do indeed possess above average intelligence within our large circuit.
Compared to the man on the street? I'd be as dumb as a bread.

[Moralgy]

I'm probably average.

[Independent voter]

How do you measure intelligence?

[Kathandira]

No response personally.

Considering global intelligence, I do not think I am above average.

[Mellomania]

Some areas probably, below in others.

[Beazy]

When it comes to making hot wings I am. I can wreck your fucking LIFE with my hot wings.

Everything else, I'm pretty mEh.

[Xada]

Overall, I would say I'm above average. Like all things, it depends on the subject.

[Jayburner]

You guys keep proving me wrong. Keep it up. Please never change.

How do you measure intelligence?

With an intelligence-o-meter.

That's the joke. There is none. There is no empirical measure of intelligence (i.e. no intelligence-o-meter) because the very definition of intelligence is the capacity to acquire and apply NEW knowledge. And thus to have empirically studied a particular piece of knowledge it can't be new.

So intelligence is sort of an abstract idea; the ability to surmise that which can't otherwise be known to the individual whose intelligence is in question. Thus any IQ test that you have studied for the score is automatically 0.

So only through intelligence can you surmise that another being has intelligence and what level they have. And I might think you sound smart and somebody else might think you sound stupid.

Not to be mistaken for being knowledged (i.e. to study that which has already been verified through study and experimentation).

The fact is you can take people who have intellectual disabilities and teach them what are otherwise considered advanced concepts through study and discipline. But the likelihood of them figuring out those advanced concepts on their own through their own experience is fairly slim.

[Jayburner]

I only say this because any intelligent person would never say they're more intelligent. Every intelligent person would keep it to themselves.
