Intelligence is too often put above other factors. There's a difference between being intelligent and being able to use your intelligence. Being smart is useless if you don't use it. For example, the smart people that don't try because they think everyone is inferior to them or they just don't feel like it. IQ doesn't explain a lot. If you're at genius level, that doesn't mean you're a genius. This is why I think that intelligence and usefulness can only be measured with action.

I have above average intelligence according to every school I've ever attended which is why they insisted in putting me in honors programs where I actually had to do some work. I participated in a pilot program in the second grade where ten of us learned to speak French using a language immersion program. More importantly though, I have street smarts, can read people (even if I don't let on that I can) and am pretty logical.

I know that I am above average, but that does not get you anywhere in life. I just am a curious person.

I'm definitely not below average.. haha =D I might be slighty above average due to my fast understanding and learning of new things.. I guess i just have those little smartness in me, and thus i can count on myself to be intelligent?? haha =D

Above average in many areas, just merely average in other areas. I have always gotten A-B grades in school, with the occasional C in a rare subject that I could not quite grasp. I am not a genius by any means. I just know enough to maintain the air of competence and intelligence.

I haven't ever gone through a proper IQ test so I can't tell you my exact IQ(well,if you know any site which does proper IQ test then tell me I'll get back here after the test!) but as this discussion is about what We think about our intelligence,I can say that I never considered myself to be an equivalent of Einstein nor do I consider myself dumb! I think I am just an average person,as I have never topped in examinations nor did I ever failed to get a rank in class. So I better think myself as average and work harder rather than lay back and think I am genius and mess up my grades! Have a nice day ahead!

Well, I think that I am very smart when it comes to people. In a big variety of ways too. I can read people pretty good. Also when I see someone, I will remember where I saw them and to what extent I knew them. ie: brief conversation, had a class, worked with them etc..... I am pretty smart with my words and explanation. I can figure things out in the nature. For example, I found out that tree leaves plant their selves in the ground. I did this by following clues. I am pretty good when it comes to health stuff. I have a special knack for it, I guess you would call it. But you give me a math equation and I will hang it up. I have often wondered what my IQ is just for fun. I think that people are smart in the areas that they need to be. When one of my children are sick, immediately my doctor mind is working to best fit their need.
