Did anyone in here take al the mickey mouse classes at high school: Economics, History, Geography, Human Biology, English and Art? They would help your grades a lot.

Physics, Chemistry, Calculus and English Literature kill most people's grade averages and are really tough subjects.

AP versions of all applicable.  AP physics and chemistry required AP calculus so I had no choice to take it since I was majoring in science.

It was kind cool getting college credits during high school.

Hmmm people around me consider me smart... But I often question that... Might be because I don't believe in myself or I think I just seem smart. -_-'

Then again, maybe I'd be more knowledgeable if I didn't have motivation, laziness and procrastination issues. Plus, I just can't bring myself into learning things I don't consider as interesting. ^_^'

Yeah, I'm going to be done with undergraduate stuff in 2 1/2 years thanks to AP credits.

I agree. Most people like to jerk themselves off and think they're smarter than average.

The truth is most people are just stupid, making those of use who are normal seem smart.

Well, I guess it would be correct to say you're smarter than average if the average person is stupid though...

 

You oculd argue that the demographic that would tend to visit messageboards such as these have a predeposition towards numbers, news, etc and would imply that they are smarter then the general populace

^^^I agree. But there are a lot of message boards full of idiots too...
But this forum has much less idiots then a normal one.

I test well above average.

So i'd think so... of course the real question is... does that really mean anything?

IQ and "success" are corralary... but just barely... and when you consider the fact that high IQs correlate a lot with richer families...

It's hard to assume that it's really all that helpful.

The scary part is i was born prematurely.  If I had been born at a normal time I likeley would of had a bigger "IQ" which would of likely just made my life worse.



Yes, but lazy lol

this is almost a stupid question. All answers will be self reported, and most people will say "yeah, I'm above average."

You might as well poll people and ask them if their dong size is above average or not.





This is something I think about a good bit. Determining how intelligent I may or may not be is something I try to do.

Always searching, never a satisfactory answer... IQ, grades, personal opinion...
