Poll: Rate your Intelligence! (UPDATED: NOW WITH I.Q. TEST TO PROVE YOUR BRAVDO!)

[DevilWithaHalo]

I'm not sure how one can count to Potato... this does not bode well for me...

 

[Newby_Newb]

I am probably Average.

I took a MENSA test once, and it said if I gave them money, I could be a member.
I chose not to pay them, so I'm clearly clevererer than even MENSA members.

OT: Oh look, everyone thinks they are slightly above average. What a surprise.

I don't recall seeing many stupid people on this site, though. Misguided and of poor moral judgement maybe, but not particularly unintelligent.

 

[axlryder]

That's a pretty limited spectrum you have there. Luckily I fall fairly squarely into the "slightly above average" camp.

 

[axlryder]

Well, what a surprise. The vast majority of people consider themselves to be slightly above average.

Why do people always make this comment? It's a website full of nerds. I would honestly be surprised if the majority legitimately weren't slightly above average.

I think it's true for people in general, not just nerds.

I was speaking specifically about this website, as polls like this one have been conducted several times. Maybe on other forums you'd get similar results, but here I find those results to be far more believable.

What I am somewhat skeptical of is the alleged number of geniuses among us.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

I liek chocolate milk. :3

But counting to Potaho is to hard. >_<

I would say well above avanrage.

 

[Erana]

I know I'm gifted. The thing is, though, I'm also smart enough to know that this doesn't make me inherently better than other people.

 

[Aris Khandr]

Above average, certainly. I was in gifted programs all throughout school. Did debate club, and in primary school I was on the Academic Team (which is competitive nerdity).

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I think I'm a little above average but not by much. Sometimes I'm surprised by how little general knowledge people seem to have these days.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Ummm... Well or slightly below average?
I got mainly Bs and Cs in my exam. Kind of wish I could have studied and got better grades but grades haven't done much for me anyway.
Compared to most people in my city, I'm a fucking genius. But when I surround myself with friends I feel so dumb.

Nobody is really good at telling their own intelligence in comparison to others. It is something people would have to study you to really get a non biased result on. I know for a fact I am not very smart in the traditional sense but I have other skills that make up for it.

 

[Trucken]

Well below average. I'm stupid and I know it. It doesn't really bother me, it only bothers me when people give me crap because of it.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

Well below average. I'm stupid and I know it. It doesn't really bother me, it only bothers me when people give me crap because of it.

Based on that one post, I can already tell that you're wrong. You're not stupid.

 

[Unsilenced]

Everyone is above average!

Except me. I am smart because I can count to potato.

Watch.

One... Two... Orange.

FUCK!

Thanks friend, but yeah, I kinda am. It's OK though, it means I can watch shows that are appearantly stupid, like The Big Bang Theory, and enjoy them.

 

[FoolKiller]

Genius, but that was expected. I was labelled as everything from genius to gifted to whatever other labels can be put on being in the elite of intelligence as I was growing up. Frankly, its a load of shit. If you read up on Gardner's multiple intelligences you'll realize that anyone can be a 'genius' if you use the right measuring stick for the individual.

Just live your life, enjoy it, and try not to hurt others and that's all that really matters.

Ciao.

My IQ is higher than average, and I'm good at math and such, but on the other hand my brain can disfunction in some pretty spectacular ways. (Especially when under stress)

Mostly by making me unable to see the forest from the trees. Literally. It's difficult to explain, because even when it happens to me I intellectually know it makes no sense. I for example look at a human, and see there's two eyes, and mouth, and nose etc. but I can't see it as a human. It's just pieces that don't relate to one another.

So I once almost fell down stairs because I couldn't understand how they worked...

So my problem-solving capabilities can be really bad at times.

 

[w9496]

I'm a fairly smart guy. My grades were always horrible, but my test scores were always better than everybody elses.

It really depends on the subject though. I'm really grat in classes like history, band, gym, and things like that. On the flip side, I was pretty below average in math, and right in the middle for english until debate came along.
