I think I'm smart because I'm able to plans things easily and most of my plans work.

I can also recognize patterns and other people's strategies.

Everything is a pattern or rhthym to me. My ability to recognize and develop patterns expresses itself in different ways.

I base it on other people's ability to do what I do. They're not very good at it. A lot of people know more than me. I'll give them that. But when it comes to what I know is my shyt I'm next level with it.

I have pretty good deductive reasoning skills and a decent vocab. I'm not particularly advanced in areas like math or tech and I know there are a ton of people smarter than me but I never feel intellectually inferior really. I figure there haven't been many things I've really tried to understand or learn that I've been unable to

Knowing specific things makes you well-read or perhaps even well-travelled, but it doesn't make you smart.
Being able to utilize critical thinking to break down whats in front of you is what I would consider smart.

For example, a person is not smart for merely understanding how something works.
But a person that does not understand how something works but can deduce or determine how it works over time based on analyzation and critical thinking, thats a smart person.

Thats why scientists in horror movies always die. They aren't very smart, they are just well-studied in a particular field. But despite their PHD they don't grasp that the alien with the red eyes drooling acid isn't there to make peaceful contact.
