I have no common sense, and have trouble thinking independtly and "outside the box". :(

above average, but not as much as people think. A lot of times I don't feel smart, but then there are times when I will grasp an idea immediately and everyone else takes a while to get it. I do lack common sense though, and money and logistics confuse the hell out of me

Intelligence... maybe slightly above average, though it wouldnt' be by much (say 10 points above average IQ).

But I think I have very good "wisdom", for what it's worth.

98th or 99th percentile on standardized IQ tests (have scored both), so I'm 1337 at analytical and symbol-processing tasks, hence the Mensa pin and software development job.

Just average for "wisdom" and "street smarts."

Where are my average people?
The average person thinks they're a bit above average :)

I taught Einstein everything he knew, and kept some to myself (like regeneration and eternal life techniques)

Similar. I have common sense and can handle logistics (I go ballistic if you screw with my logistics that I've got worked out) but finances and creative stuff, nuh uh.

I would say I am elite. My standardized test scores are usually in the upper 90ths and I am only down in the 80ths in a couple of subjects.

I am usually able to jump on new projects and tackle them like a pro within a few hours or days (depending on the size of the project).

I don't think I'm a super genius, but I think I am adaptable -- and I think that is very important. I have a lot of book smarts, and I keep up with current trends and events.

I don't bring any schoolwork home with me but I'm maintaining (and will probably exceed) a 92% average in highschool. My good friend, on the other hand, struggles to maintain an 80% average while working hard at it.

:confused:
