    Clearly, it's a subjective question, but how do you rate your own intelligence?

    Are you a braniac, as dumb a box of nails, or somewhere inbetween?

    I'm about average, I think most people that say they are smarter are probably just average too, they're just not ignorant. there's a difference between stupidity and ignorance.

    Regarding the question at hand, Pighead would describe himself as moderately super intelligent. Definitely the smartest in After Hours and probably in the top five on boards.

    Would love to have a brain off with seamus. That's one smart guy. If it were possible, Pighead would make love with seamus to create the cleverest baby this world has ever seen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 575 ✭✭✭RockinRolla


    It depends as what you define as "intelligence".

    Advanced in our Government laid out curriculum? Or enlightened to the fact that the American and European Union has been supporting oppressive administrations in the Middle East and Africa to secure our grip on the world? The fact that one man has the power to print money, devaluing the currency so cost of living rises, inflation and interest rates, more taxes to fund primarily a death machine also known as the military which is were 51% of revenue goes in America and these are the people that control the world?

    Or how about the fact that people have become zombies watching television, believing everything it throws at us is gospel even though its owned by secretive corporations. Or the fact that Obama's cabinet are passing new legislation where nobody has read the thing - resulting in biologically engineered food, i.e - insect genes are mixed with vegetable genes to cut costs to create the food we eat today.

    So, yeah...are you talking about this kind of intelligence or the ability to understand a map?

    I always find these polls interesting because they clearly demonstrate the common bias of Illusory superiority.

    Almost always without fail a far greater number than 50%, often close to 95% of people believe they're of average intelligence or above. While this poll isn't a scientific sample of the population at large it still is effective at showing how common it is for people rate themselves above their peers.
