How intelligent are you?

Post Reply New Topic

I answered this wrong as said 60 to 70% and I meant top 40% as my best educated guess. When you go by book smarts and grades in college I could be up there, but overall intelligence, not so sure. I could be said to not have the best street smarts and also can be said to sometimes be unable to do something everyday and trivial.

Remember there are different types of intelligence, emotional, verbal, performance, etc. Intelligence can be measured yet could be relative in terms of succcesses in life, etc. One person may flunk out of college and get lucky in a successful business due to people smarts or good people skills.

How is it badly configured? It's clear that it is going in descending order and you could have just picked 20%.

However your confusion over this poll isn't helping your argument that you are in the 20 percent. LOL

It was 5am in them morning, give me a break

139, baby!

Last I checked, I was 51,724th most intelligent member here.

Smarter than many, slower than plenty...

Do you feel I.Q helps you?
155 here and it doesn't help me make friend, keep jobs, spell ect. So I want to know does it help you? I have to edit currently 138 recovering from damage.

I am saying something similar. I think it would translate Smarter than many, slower than some (sounds better and more rimey in my own language)

I am pretty sure that I am in the bottom 20%, maybe even lower. So I am 80% on your chart, maybe even 90%. For accuracy, my IQ is only between 78-85 depending on the IQ test I took. I have taken several IQ tests over the years, all professionally given. Not online tests as those are fake as fake can be because I always score between 115- and even as high as 130! I know my IQ isn't that high and in real life tasks, I can't figure out things very easily. I ain't that bright, my lightbulb went out. Dim as dim can be! If you know me deeply, then you will understand that this is accurate, straight on. Some people comment on how smart I am when they first meet me, but I amaze with my medical knowledge, specifically abnormal psychology. Sometimes I educate the doctors about it and know facts that they don't. I have educated my shrink many times about various subjects. But knowledge does not equal intelligence, its how you use that knowledge. Any old person can memorize facts. The DSM is primarily facts. Not much to actually understand as it is written at a relatively low grade level. But so are newspapers. The average American reads at 8th grade level and understands at an 8th grade level with their comprehension. Sad, really. My percentages above (80-90%) might be too intelligent I might be the bottom 1% because it is true that there are many intelligent people on here if their IQ scores are accurate. I have read all the "What is your IQ score" threads. Of course generally people with higher IQ's will be more likely to answer on there to brag about their IQ's. But if that is even close to an accurate representation of people's IQ's here on Wrong Planet, then with an IQ of only 78-85 then I am low. There is only a couple of people on here that have mentioned IQ's lower than mine.

pretty

there are too many factors to ascertain this. in order to be diagnosed with AS, a person has to have at least average intelligence, so my percentile as compared to the general population would not really apply. also, although most people on the board have been diagnosed with AS, it isn't universal. and aspies who come onto a forum might be higher or lower intelligence on average than aspies who don't.

plus, how can i know how intelligent other people on the board are? from the vocabulary in their posts, or their debate style, or their general knowledge, or their education, or their stated IQ? <---(people lie)

one last point - i didn't click anything in the poll because i can't begin to figure out how to answer, but if i had to guess i'd say that the majority of people believe themselves to be above average. this is due to a particularly hilarious bias:

As previously stated, I've noticed the majority of avatars used on WP are kinda lame although the person using it obviously thinks it looks good. You think that means anything?

i have nooooooooo idea, honestly. i like that many people use avatars, because if they don't i have trouble remembering them.

your avatar looks cute, with the seal (is it a seal?). are seals smart?

<----This seal looks kinda dumb actually which contributes to his cuteness.

Questions like these bother me, because I know I'm not the brightest one on WP.

I voted top 40% but might be low self-esteem, I've yet to see someone on here who I thought could make me feel less intelligent in a conversation. That's not me trying to be mean, just me trying to be honest.
