it will be funny when everybody answers yes. it will show that everybody thinks they are smarter than everyone else


Someone figured out what I was going for.


quite obvious really.

Since video game forum goers are kinda considered by popular culture like this:

I'm expecting the ratio of yes verse no to be greater than say if this was asked on a science forum.

Actually most average Joes are smart, the real question is how intelligent they are.



 

 

I was gonna vote no, but then you said "sight"...



 

“These are my principles; if you don’t like them, I have others.” – Groucho Marx

Probably not



I have an IQ higher than the average person (not very hard, the average person is actually quite slow) and through life experience have seen that I am more intelligent than the majority of people I meet (not my friends however, I usually am not as intelligent as they are).

As to this site, it's hard to say. Video Gaming as a hobby, especially as big enough of a hobby for the person that they would peruse the internet about it, should indicate above-average intelligence. So I'm probably around the middle of the pack here I would imagine.

I think this quote is fitting here:

“The fundamental cause of trouble in the world is that the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.”
Bertrand Russell

I've always been a straight A student and I'm a med student now. If you are talking academically then I guess yes. If you mean general knowledge then no I'm average.

You're a copy of me :O


Let's be besties. ;)

How far along are you? I'm still a first year student.



this is just natural i guess ^-^ everybody secretly thinks they can something much better/or have better skills/look better/what ever as someon else. even without any proof. this is what makes us self confident i guess



I voted show me the results. Personally I dont care whether or not im smarter than most people. Most likely from an an intellectual perspective I am (~140 IQ when tested in 8th Grade) but that doesnt mean squat. Smart is based on SO many different factors. I know people with (measured) IQs of ~150 or so that are stupid when it comes to anything in the real world. As we would say they are Book smart and not street smart.

There are clearly people here who are more educated and also others who are more ignorant than I am in alot of subjects. Overall I would say I know less about video games than most as I spend far more time browsing this site than I do playing games. Which is sad considering I only check in here a few times a day and only for a few moments.



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!! 

Depends what sight we're talking about, this one:

or this one?
