Waht is inteligens?

I also rated myself as "very". I'm definitely not brilliant, but moderately would be false modesty too.

And I'm not surprised that so many voters choose "very" or "brilliant". I don't think it is because of wrong self-assessment.
I think it's because this poll is not among a representative part of humankind. It is in a Minecraft-forum. And Minecraft attracts a certain kind of people. People with an astute mind who like to create. That has moved the Gaussian distribution to higher intelligence values here.
I reckon, most of these voters have not even lied.

I know I'm at least in the 98th percentile of intelligence. Where I fall from 98-100, I'm not exactly sure.

Let dead topics die, you self-inflated kiddies, you.

Oops, you're right. The last post before me was several months ago.
Must have been a mummy topic that walked up on me...

Hmm... I'd say I'm moderate intelligence.

Because I dropped class 27 times and still got a B (Full day)

Many people associate intelligence with memorization of information, particularly that of an esoteric subject. In my opinion, intelligence is the ability to decipher information and either draw meaningful conclusions from it or use that information to your advantage. Call me conceited, but I find myself to be extremely intelligent for my age. Perhaps it is just my ego getting to me, but pretty much in every class I've ever taken, I've been considered "the smartest kid in class" and people have always said to me "go to high school/college already," and other things like that. I have met few other people like me with whom I have been able to have good conversations.
