Poll: Are you Clever???

[JokerCrowe]

Meh Kinda. That is my vote. I tend to use complex words when I talk, but that is mainly because I want to come off as smart. But if i'm given enough time, I can solve really complex problems, and I have been known as "the funny one" in my circle of aquaintances. I'm not very quick, I tend to get distracted or drift off, so sometimes I can look quite dumb, but I assure you I'm not. And someone once said, "if you want to be in control, always try to seem dumber than you actually are". I could say that in my circle of friends I'm the dumb one. (my friends are all geniouses) but I'm also "the funny one" and I'm Ok with that.
And I've gotten around 120-130 on every IQ-test I've done. Not genious, but above average. so "meh, kinda".

I'm pretty clever. I'll phrase most of what I say pretty cleverly. I make people laugh quite a bit when I do it, so I do it often, as I like to see people laugh.

This. Witty banter for life!

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Yup i Be Clever.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

What is this witty and cleverness you speak of?

All in all im not very clever or smart.

 

[yoz13]

I'm not exactly clever (failed all my A levels) but I am awesome at random knowledge I pick up and can remember it at appropriate moments

 

[Gudrests]

Why does being clever imply being a smartass?

thats the most fun way of showing it...and the more clever you are...the more you can hide that your making fun of someone...

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

I've been told I am, but I don't believe people...

Although I am a bit of a grammar nazi sometimes o0.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Nah, I'm not clever.
The stupidity of others sometimes makes me feel clever, but that's different.

 

[Angryman101]

I'm clever while writing things, such as while IMing or doing essays or the short stories I do in my free time, but in person I'm much slower. I'm just not able to mouth the words I have in my head because I think much, much faster than I can talk, and I end up sounding retarded. I really need to get that fixed, some day.

 

[Denamic]

I scored in the top 1% in our army's recruitment IQ test.
So I'd suppose I am somewhat clever.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I do use long words and will be a smart ass at times, but only when I'm defending myself from a verbal attack. As for academically I'm quite smart in various subjects except for maths. I'm terrible at maths. However despite this I'm really lazy. I also know a few random facts, that people couldn't give a fuck about, nor will they help me in the future.

 

[Eggsnham]

Kinda'. I can make witty retorts, use long words and be a huge smartass, but other than that, there's no more clever left in me.

 

[Zero47]

I consider myself clever, though what's the point of such labels?

It's caused me more grief than anything else.

well thats hardly rocket science, witty sayings are rarely used to prove anything, theyre used to show up your intelectual "opponents"

 

[Marmooset]

a recent thread claimed 75% of the escapist's users were "smart people" some may call that an over shoot, personally, i think there are more.

So by "clever" it means you casually use long words, make witty retorts and are generally a bit of a smart ass, get voting!

You know that comeback you think of 40 minutes after an argument ends?
Well, I've narrowed the gap to 10 minutes. So yeah, kinda.

Still creeps people out when I come running back outta nowhere, so there's some refining yet to be done.

 

[Yureina]

People routinely call me a genius as well as being clever. I think i'll just go with that.

 

[Tdc2182]

Nope. I'm quite stupid, actually. Most of my so called cleverness is just stolen from other people, when it really comes down to it, I'm not a smart person. I'm not an idiot, per se, but I'm certainly at best average, and most probably below average.

Plus, I'm terrible in school, and score quite low academically in general.

Oh well.

Pretty much the same. I would say I am not dumb, but I get flustered very easily and it takes me a bit to long to think of a comeback.

Even on the internet that sometimes comes across. I don't ever read over what I said, I am mostly typing out of fury.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but that thing was really easy. On the other hand, getting all 200 questions right is pretty impressive.

 

[khaimera]

I think so, but the best way to know is how others here judge your posts. So fellow escapists, judge away.
