I don't really know. I've been know as a "computer" or the "pocket dictionary" and one of the smartest people in my class.
That's just middle school though. One guy cracked a joke in class saying "We don't need a computer, we've got Michael!"
I'm not sure, I've seen some people on here who are pretty smart. I don't know if I'm smart.
I've been called a genius since birth and I've done nothing with it - At least nothing incredible.
Intelligence isn't some kind of defined value - It's what you make it. I don't consider myself intelligent because I've ****ed away a lot of time dealing with my emotional baggage (baggage that stopped me dead in my tracks).
I consider someone who studied hard because they weren't that 'smart' - and scraped an A- on their finals - more intelligent than someone like myself who's consider a 'genius' and assed their way to passing.
I don't get this. Does it mean how much pure brainpower you have, or how much knowledge you have stuffed your head with? I voted with the first meaning.
What most people don't understand is that "smarts" is divided into two parts. Knowledge, it's what you learn through books, people, and other medias, and there's intelligence, how well you are able to apply your knowledge to different situations.
As for me, I can only say that I'm above average. I can't get a good gauge from other people because where I live, no matter if people are smart or stupid, EVERYONE acts and talks like dumbasses.
And why is everyone voting brilliant? If everyone is brilliant, then that means NOBODY IS.
Based on 10 being the average, and 20 being the highest.

All right i've been thinking.. when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade, MAKE LIFE TAKE THE LEMONS BACK. GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?
Though I'd be highly skeptical of that wisdom stat. Like above, this is simply a superhuman stat.
I had no clue how D&D stats worked before looking it up 10 seconds before this post. In that case, I'll revise my wisdom to 16, intelligence to 12, and charisma to 12.
Asking people to judge themselves is just the worst thing you can possibly do when it comes to polling. I chose not to vote.
But it's an interesting social experiment!
I voted "a little", because I know I'm above the population average, but I don't know by how much.
I think it's interesting too, but not a good way to conduct a real poll. I'm currently wondering in what way you can rearrange the answers to make them fit.
There's a lot I don't understand. I can't fix things, do carpentry, fish, fix cars, grow a garden, etc. I can't even use beads and string and make a bracelet. Even though I know a good deal about math and science, I doubt I'm smarter than most people.
if i got low grades but know how to concor the world am i brilliant?
albert einstien failed for a lot of tests yet he was one of the most brilliant minds ever.
i voted brilliant becouse everyone is brilliant in his/her own way.
becouse intelligence is not a set thing.
There are definitely different minds who know how to manipulate situations much better than others. That's just a saying, and he was asking about intelligence, not traits. Einstein also didn't get along with different people when he was young, and wouldn't have hung out on an internet forum.
I honestly don't know one person on this forum who would fit into the "brilliant" category (unless a user is much more intelligent in real life). Titles like "prodigy", "brilliant", "revolutionary" and "genius" are self-given way too often these days.

It's whether or not i want to fully grasp it though.
You have just read this. You are also manually breathing.

You are completely right. A proper IQ test would be closer to the truth, but people can still lie.
