Do you think you are intelligent?

Smarter than the "average person".

- Asked by jasmine27, A Thinker, Female, 22-25, Other Profession

READ MORE ABOUT THE RATING SYSTEM

with an IQ of 160ish, yes, i'm intelligent. and can use that intelligence to its full advantage.

however, there will always be people with more knowledge about certain things that i can learn from.

knowledge and intelligence are not the same thing. one is your entire stored information that you can recall, the other is your ability to store and recall learned information.

I do consider myself as intelligent. But not smarter than the average person. We all have our "niches" even the "bum" on the street has figured out how to survive, as well has the grown man on the bicycle that hangs out at prominent places in town and has eggs that he wants to give you, not sell to you, but give to you. That's the very reason that I love people, they are resilient. There is a place for everyone in this world. Or else they wouldn't be here.

I think most people do (and I'm no exception)!

I just hope I'm not the guy that everyone just coddles, and pretends to respect me, hehe.

How did your interview go?

As in IQ? NO. I think that I am a harder worker than the average person when It comes to my education though. Good grades are usually about focus and work, not natural brilliance.

I am as intelligent as the average person. I took an IQ test and scored 100. I got straight C's in school with a 75% average.

My lady as a Health Care Provider would have to say yes, top of my medical class. I was in the upper 2% of my class and in Medicine you have to have the smarts or we would kill a lot of people. In med school or PT- Nursing its A- B- or F, nothing else counts but those grades. We startd with 55 students and graduated 22!! I did well and studied hard but I had the upper hand, I was a US ARMY Combat Medic-Flight Medic and had experience!!

To a certain degree, I believe I rank among the average or better. When it comes to simple common sense and street smarts, again, above average....

Intelligent.. I don't know. Maybe? I am trained to be 'smarter' than the average person... as I paid out of my ass to get my Bachelor's of Science.. and now I'm being paid to get my Masters and PhD in a science related field...

...so smarter, yes. By training. more intelligent? Intelligence can be defined in so many contexts.

Yes. I don't think my IQ is that high, but I process information better than most people. I am also good at critical thinking.

The greatest measure of a person's intelligence is not the answer they provide to the question, but the other questions that evolve from the original question...

To be perfectly honest, no I don't think I'm intelligent because I am learning something new everyday and as I learn more each day, my intelligence grows and I achieve a higher level of learning...:D

I scored reasonably well on the SAT's... well enough to be accepted to my first choice university... I wouldn't say I am more intelligent than the average person, but I do have more common sense than most people.

Sadly, it seems that the "average person" is pretty sub-par.

I don't "think" that I'm intelligent, I know so.

No brag, just fact.
