Do you believe that you are of above average intelligence?

[applesjck 5,605]

It depends on the subject, really! Like with math, I’m considered way below average. 

But with subjects like english or history, I’m quite good! I feel like intelligence is subjective, as there are many different types of intelligences, if that makes sense.

I guess what I’m trying to say is I don’t really know where I stand on the whole intelligence range, just because of how many components there are to it.

Possibly as I seem to achieve a bit above average on tests though whether I'm putting it to good use if I do is debatable.

I believe I’m above average stupidity.

[Muffinnz 3,224]

I very very very below average

When you start misunderstanding everyone around you, that's when you know you have less intelligence. Thankfully, that hasn't happen (yet) so I believe I have higher than average.

Hey, being above average in anything is an accomplishment.

No. Probably not lol

Depends,  I know a lot of random book stuff/life stuff

I wanna say no but let’s be real, the average person is really damn stupid. At least in America anyway. I don’t think it takes much to be smarter than average here.

[Fluttershutter 2,835]

Just enough to know how dumb I am. Dumber people don't have to think about it because they think they're really smart, smart peopl ARE really smart, I'm just between.

America's not special. People are stupid everywhere.

I've taken tests that show that I'm above average.

But to be honest, I do have my dummy moments. Such as, when I wonder where I've left my glasses and then go on a full search of the house for them. Then realise that I'm actually wearing them. Or late evening when a light bulb goes kaput and I go to change it in a darkened room, my brain comes up with the brilliant solution of turning the light on to help me see what I'm doing. Another classic is whenever there has been the rare powercut and I'm left with nothing to do, I go to switch the electric kettle on to make a drink while I wait for the power to come back on.

 I believe it but I don't think anyone else would.😜

[StaryStory 4,147]

Well, almost everything I do goes wrong due to me being dumb, so I'm probably below average? Does memory issues count too? 

[Snoopy Fan 7,533]

No, I’d say I’m average intelligence.

[ExplosionMare 20,951]

Not really, which I'm fine with.

Thinking intelligence is a monolith, or dependent on education level, is dumb. There are multiple areas of intelligence. What are we talking about here, memorisation? Emotional intelligence? Critical thinking skills? Problem solving? I'd consider myself good in some areas but abysmal in others lol. And being knowledgeable is no inherent indicator of intelligence; I've seen uni graduates struggle with applying their theoretical knowledge to the practical real world around them, or fall for blatantly absurd conspiracy theories.

The latter was known for very high scores in college... regurgitating facts and pleasing his professors did his actual critical thinking skills no favours.

Guy gets 99% on his dissertation, one of the highest grades the university has ever seen but completely believed in multiple NWO conspiracy theories and had a clear lack of understanding of the world.
