the results of this poll say more for the average apolytonery's arrogance than it does intelligence...

Monolith :
I think the problem is mostly due to the fact that 'Poly is a very articulate and smart forum overall, at least when you compare to very much of the crap you normally find on Internet, or IRL. It is harder to compare yourself with the average Apolytoner if you take your reference from elsewhere.

I personally voted "I are smart" (90%), because I think so, however I now feel I should have voted in the 75%, in comparison with other Apolytoners.

IRL I tested 99th for all people, so I put that...as a percentage of Poly people I'm probably nowhere near there. Obviously I didn't read closely enough. Yeah, I'm real smart. Nertz.

It's a tough question. Is the average 'Polytoner the same as the average person, which, by definition, has an IQ of 100? If so, there is at least a base you can compare with. If not, who the hack knows?

I took a Mensa test and they calculated my IQ at 177. This was when I was 12, and I'm certain that my young age skewed the test towards the high end. As far as percentile goes, they said that was 99.997 percentile.

Perhaps it was, for 12 year olds. Now that a decade has passed I'm pretty certain the grade curve has caught up with me again.

among everyone?

standardized tests (for what they are worth, and I have never taken an IQ test) say high 90s (97-99)

here on apolyton, for standardized tests, not a clue

real intelligence? I am smart, bot don't have a clue how I compare to apolytoners

i would say that i'm fairly smart. i'm a bit better than average in mathmatics skills, rather good at scientific skills, very good in linguistic skills, logic, debating, etc. my overall knowledge base is average to somewhat above average, and my reasoning skills are rather above average.

this all in my most honest, humble attempt at analyzing myself.

Zen (Not master Zen, a different one) is at Yale. I'll also hopefully be at Yale in 4 years. My mom, dad, sister, 2 grandpas, and 2 uncles also went there, so I have a big legacy.
