Do you consider yourself smart? Be honest.

After many years of introspection and meta thinking and true self reflection, Ive come to the conclusion that I am a genuine mid wit, and Im okay with it.

I consider myself a mutha fucking bonafied genius

Smarter than average but not as smart as they thought when I was younger.
I since realized I am instead actually just a very quick learner and that there is a difference.

Absolutely not. I got middling math grades in highschool, took almost no sciences, and dropped out of college. I can do basic math at best. I forget very quickly, and adapt poorly.

I consider myself incredibly smart and this conception of myself is only corroborated by my grades/test scores and general performance level at whatever I choose to apply myself to, however that being said it's never enough and the presence of people at or near my cognitive level makes me unhealthily competitive and I'll take this energy to pretty antisocial extremes if left unchecked

No. I'm not smart. Not at all. It's just the world around me has become stupider.

Tested 145+ in my 20s.

Short time to grasp concepts

Take apart things in my mind

Have achieved nothing aside from reproduction.

Extremely melancholy dealing with people. Surrounded by retards.

Its all luck and nepotism in this world

I'm good at practical problem-solving and at understanding people's intentions and wants when they cant explain them well. So im able to help out people often. That i think makes me seem smart when I talk to people sometimes.

But im a retard and maintaining relationships, talking to girls and doing anything to progress my life. So in that way I'm borderline retarded.

So it depends.

I honestly think I'm retarded. In reality, I'm probably a 99 IQ midwit.
Some people who watch me vibe code on chatgpt and use a phillips screw driver for its intended purpose think I'm a maverick. The opinion of these people matters a lot to me, because they sign my paycheck.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

If anything being dumber is more helpful. The smarter you are the more isolated you become until no one wants to talk to you, and you don't want to talk to them.

I don't understand how so many people know their IQ score, I'm 30 and not once throughout my education had I ever encountered an opportunity to get it tested, the closest analogue I can think of is testing into a gifted program in 3rd grade with a CogAt assessment but other than that there were no routes that involved taking a full-fledged IQ test, I just assumed it was some archaic metric that people don't really use anymore

>>81951235 (OP)
average, maybe a little above average, but i definitely have some sort of learning disability (not autism)

This. People get really mad if you "act smart" around them since they think you're being condescending, which causes them to chimp out.
Be smart, act dumb. It'll prolong your life.

>>81951800
I hate this. Why should I have to change my behavior for a society full of retards? I'm just disgusted with everything.

>>81951792
It's all inflated online IQ """tests""". Very, very few anons have ever taken a real one administered by a psychologist. Hell, very few normal people have either since there is no practical use for an IQ score in day to day life. No, dickwaving is not a practical use you pedantic faggots.

>>81951786
This is provably untrue, the higher IQ you are the happier you are because navigating life takes next to no mental effort, there was a study done that concluded the 120-129 range yielded the happiest individuals while the lowest IQ cohort were the most discontent and the trend probably doesn't stop there but that was the highest range they tested

I've managed to pass all modules of computer science without touching a single one of the accompanying math modules in one of the most prestigious universities in Europe.

I'm not sure if I'm smart extraordinaire, or the most retarded subhuman that has ever walked the earth.
You tell me.

This place makes me feel smart sometimes.

>>81951809
Because there's more of them than there are of you, and there are a shitton they can do to you and not a whole lot you can do back. Especially because they have the numbers, social connections, inherently greater credibility, resources, and numbers to make your life a living hell.

Use that gigabrain of yours and FUCKING THINK.

On what, Mensa Norway?

>>81951792

Money and has the same intrinsic value as a piece of paper with a frowny face on it.

It's just a label of self-assured value.

I literally drive a 300 dollar car and live rent free in some old ladies house.

Make no money. Just fuck around all day reading and playing with thought forms when not educating the kids.

If I ever had the chance to go to college perhaps. I did a mensa test.

I will be honest in thst I've never held a job longer than one year. Ive earned between 7/hr and 55/hr and could not deal with either one.

>This. People get really mad if you "act smart" around them since they think you're being condescending
well they think you are projecting your ego which is the type of thing they would do, so they think it's a power play, the normies think every social interaction is a power play

See, here's the thing: does it really matter why you're getting lynched if you're getting lynched?
