Do you think you’re smarter than most folks? Edit: 2 part question

[Rick Fox at UNC]

Also come from a long line of smart people. Bunch of cousins who went to like Univ. of Virginia, Duke, Harvard, Swarthmore, Jesuit schools, all kinds of nonsense.

Family founded high-schools and led civil rights organizations. Some crazy shyt.

I ain't shyt though.

 

[Claudex]

In a way, I think I'm less intelligent in some areas. Reasonably intelligent in others.

 

[Da_Eggman]

fukk no

 

[Virtuous_Brotha]

Definitely not more intelligent but more logical thinking and less of a fukin hypocrite, i do what i do and don't judge others for shyt I'm also guilty of

 

[Rozay Oro]

I know how to act in public. Seems to me more people are just way too comfortable in their conversations and outbursts in public settings. Gives me second hand embarrassment

 

[Dr. Acula]

No.

 

[EffYou]

What deems someone “smart”? Is it wealth? Education level? Being able to navigate through life?

I remember when I was younger I hated being told to wash dishes so what did I do? fukk up on doing that, leaving stains and other goofy shyt still on the plates. I didn’t have to wash dishes anymore

The world goes by the 90/10 rule and I know I'm not part of the 90%

 

[GreenGhxst]

smarter can be very subjective and can come in more than one form

what is the metric?

.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Yes.

Half the time I'm at a stoplight and the light turns green, I have to honk at the car ahead of me because they're on their phone.

So yes, I'd say I'm smarter than most people.

 

[buzzkill]

People tell me I'm intelligent. But there's still so much to learn there's always going to be someone smarter and wiser than me

I feel like I may be smarter than avg because most avg people make terrible decisions that ruin their lives that I warn them about. I'm always the I told u so a$$hole. I've done dumb shyt in the past because im human but I learn from my mistakes and mistakes of others quickly

My only proof I did that personality test twice in 2 years and got INTP-A same personality as Einstein and Charles darwin.(not that that really matters)

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Good thread.

Nah. I’m an average guy. I really try not to get caught up with them type of thoughts. I’m intelligent, but I know there’s many more out there that know more than I do. There’s also people out there who know things I don’t know, while I know things they don’t.
