Thread: How intelligent do you think you are?

Time for my answer I guess.

I believe I'm in the top percentile, though I've never taken a formal IQ test to my knowledge. I'm basing this off my education (one of the most intelligent students in what I believe was one of the top 25% schools in the country), getting into one of the top 10 universities in the country (studying for a masters degree in Chemistry) with very little effort (and completing a year's work in a fraction of the time), and generally being able to comprehend stuff quicker and at a deeper level than most of the people I've come into contact with.

I'm also extremely lazy.

I'd say top 2%... you're always going to sound exceedingly arrogant when you put yourself so high, but based on my academic performance that seems pretty fair.

I personally would rate you higher than the top 2%; at the very least in the top 1%. And yes, it does sound very arrogant when one rates their intellect so highly, in a way that doesn't seem to be the case for almost every other characteristic.


Edit: Anyone's welcome to comment on my beliefs by the way, and tell me that I suffer from delusions of grandeur.
