When voting on the poll, remember these things:
- This isn't about IQ or grades or SAT scores any other 'objective' measure of intelligence.
- This is about how you think about yourself, not about how others think about you.
- This is about how you compare yourself to the 'average person'. So if you're kinda stupid but everyone else is very stupid, you can still consider yourself the smart one.
- Everyone has things they're good at and things they're bad at. Even the dumbest person can do smart things and even the smartest person can do incredibly stupid things. This is about the average, not individual things.

If you feel the poll options are inadequate, feel free to elaborate in your post.

Genius, then again I see the average population as drooling fools. (and popular media confirms me)

I'd say average, though at times I feel bellow the average.

Honestly, I always seem to be just that; average. I've never found something I truly excelled at, and even the things people said I was good at I personally knew that there were massive flaws in my work. Though I am trying to fix that. But yeah, I met many people who are far more intelligent than me on a regular basis, so to say that I'm above the average would be a lie.

I had an 85 average in University (A's and B's) which makes me feel pretty smart, but then I chose English as my major, which makes me feel dumb.

I'd like to think that I'm smarter then I probably am, but I am revered among my smarter peers as being smart, so yeah I guess I'm smart, but laziness always takes me over preventing me from doing much with my intelligence.

I'd say less than intelligent myself. I've never been particularly clever, and anytime anyone thinks I'm clever it's because I'm just faking it. I wouldn't say too significantly stupid (I can tie my shoes), but certainly below average.
You are really good at faking it then.

I guess i'm average. I'm good with school and everything but my problem solving skills lack , I guess it's me knowing stuff but I'm no good at putting it to use(in maths at least.)

I'd say a bit higher than average, but average isn't hard to beat, is it?

I have no idea, honestly. I didn't do all that well in school, but that was more due to laziness and a lack of passion for any of it. I like to think I have more common sense then most people in this country, though.

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'smart'. If you're looking for book-smarts, then I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. If you're looking for common sense, I'm above average.

Just, no. Read the OP.

I think I'm bloody smart. That's probably because, at my school, everyone's a blithering idiot.

I'm pretty average, actually.
I'm trying to excel in English, but I'm mainly a creative person. Intelligence isn't really my strong suit.

I'm significantly smarter than almost everyone I know and get almost entirely A's, but almost everyone I know is the type of 15-year-old idiot you find pissing everyone off on X-Box Live with a gamertag like xXxg4n4sta'420xXx and the school I go to is filled with these people and thus has them as the academic standard, so that takes away pretty much all value from my intellectual achievements.

I'm probably the single smartest person I know.

I make up for it by being considerably autistic though.

I wasn't basing it just on my grades, thank you for your concern.

Being honest here, no one is really going to say they're ridiculously stupid. I would say i'm slightly above average. Not genius anyway.

God damn it, I voted in the poll before thinking this through properly. I went into a hubris and voted "Ha-ha, I'm a genius!", but that's simply not true. I might be quite book-smart, but I have somewhat sub-par social skills, and I often get a hold of the Idiot Ball.
I'm better at logic than my peers though, so I'll go so far as to say that I'm at least slightly above average.
