THERE ARE SOOOOOOOOO MANY ways to measure intelligence, a poll doesn't do it justice.
This is simply a personal belief and perhaps unaccountable for others, as you may live in a superiority complex blinding you from the unforgiving truth.

So instead:

Poll: Do you like black chicks?
(Vote): YEHH NIGGA
(Vote): FUCK NO
NEVER ONCE HAS TL.NET POSTED HOT BLACK CHICKS, EVEN IN THE HOT GIRLS THREAD.


hot black girls don't exist.

jesus.

that was posted by the same guy that told us he's the smartest one around. there are only 3 possibilities here.

1. he lives in knoxville tennessee
2. hes so dumb that he tries to make up for it by pretending to be smart?.
3. hes pretty dumb, but not enough to be oblivious to it. he feels bad about it and tries to pose on the internet to feel better.

1.) I'm not white. (But I'm almost positive your going to say that's no excuse for it blah blah, I say, it's rather environmental. This is the internet, there are so many other horrific labels I can place here.)
2.) WTF is a kika. I looked it through google, no results, just some damn German channel. But yeah, I see no problem with it to be honest. Words are just words to me, they should not be a vehicle to action.

I have one of the worst memories of anyone I know. I forget names of people; famous people (actors/actresses/directors), friends I haven't seen in a while, if I just met you I'll forget your name by the next time I see you. I forget names of places, only remembering the names of prominent cities, street addresses you can forget about. I occasionally forget the names of items, particularly items with unique names like a movie title or a book, etc. But I also forget more generic words. Like yesterday I forgot the word "crouton" for describing a toasted cube of bread that garnishes salads. I forget where I place things all the time. When I'm out about town I have to constantly check my pocket for my keys, just to make sure they're still there. Similarly, I keep my wallet in my front right pocket, because I don't feel it well enough in my back pockets and I have a panic attack if I think even for a moment that I've lost it.

However, I don't think I'm stupid. I've scored between 130-145 on every IQ test I've taken. My ability to reason seems better than most people I know. I recognize patterns very quickly and complimented by my sharp critical thinking skills I jump to (usually correct) conclusions faster than most of my peers. I research pretty well, but that's a skill you learn in highschool/college and has very little to do with natural ability.... though I kinda had to rely on researching skills more than most since I have great difficulty memorizing random information that I wasn't using for anything in the next couple weeks (bad memory- see above).

I have one friend that's pretty bright-- almost as good as me in pattern recognition and logic-- and has a tremendous memory. It may be because he's a trained actor, or it may be a natural talent, but he remembers the actors names in just about every movie he's seen as well as what movies they've been in. He never forgets people, etc etc... basically everything I forget, he can remember. A talent I'm quite jealous of.

Family: well, they produced me, so they're not idiots, but they have nothing to apply their intellect towards beyond their rather mundane jobs, so they've never really displayed any sort of genius around me.

Friends: My closest friends are around my intellect. Helps with conversations, don'tcha know?

Aquantences: Some are pretty bright, others are remarkably stupid.

Girlfriends: I've never dated anyone as smart as me... something I regret and hope to correct.

People I've met: Many aren't too bright, but I've met people much much smarter than me... mostly professors in college.

Everybody thinks they are smarter than they really are. Only a select few have an intelligence as high as their ego. Nobody is going to come out and say that they are dumb as rocks. Why? Nobody likes to admit they are below average.

As for me, numbers would put me above average in intelligence but honestly it all depends on how much faith you put in those numbers and which definition of intelligence you use. There are all different types of intelligence beyond just doing well at school, getting good grades, and scoring high on an IQ test. Now generally people who are above average in intelligence do all 3 but it is in no way mutually exclusive.

Am I smarter than my brothers/friends/parents/whoever? Questions like that that are not black and white. I could say yes and cite certain aspects of me that are well above average (like my computer knowledge.) However if I were to, for example, bash heads with my dad over business or management, I would be completely out of my league. Similarly, I have friends who are infinitely more intelligent in their professional field of choice than I am.

I thought it might be fun to do an analysis...

My friend for example has passed all kinds of college math classes including a bunch of calculus shit.

Ok so you've introduced us to one friend and he would naturally be the "he" in the next sentence.

One day we were eating and we had to pay our bill and figure the tax and tip.

Ok, so you didn't use "he" but instead "we", so you and your friend are eating. Either you're gay or you've used "we" before introducing everyone that's involved in it.

My one friend owed like 13 bucks or something and he only had a 20.

Ok so "my one friend" is, I guess, referring to a 2nd friend, but it's possible that it could still be in reference to the math friend.
He owed like 13 and I owed like 11 for a total of 37 bucks.

When you say "he owed like 13", you could be repeating what you just said in the last sentence for the sake of putting it into this list of the total amount owed. However, you're not doing that. This use of "he" is going back to refer to the math friend, and we're supposed to now have figured out that your use of "my one friend" was indeed introducing a 3rd person, otherwise we'd all be laughing at your math of "13+11=37".

None of us had enough cash to change his 20.

"None of us" is clearly implying at least 3 people, but considering your previous use of "we" with only 2 people introduced, and your ambiguous use of "my one friend" and therefore also of "he" in previous sentences, many readers would now be thoroughly confused.

I had my 11 in and he had is 13 in and he couldn't figure out how to make it work without asking the waitress for some change. but I said everyone put all their money in the pot and just have him take out his change, it seemed simple to me. He called it abstract thinking.

Your reader can hopefully figuring out that this "he" is in reference to your math friend, otherwise the purpose of this sentence would be lost. But your use of "he" here is still a very weak pronoun.

.....

Hmm, anyway, what a mess. Good writing skills aren't, of course, equatable to intelligence (just like anything else). However, good writing is simply putting your ideas through certain standards and rules. The ease of this task is an indicator of a very general intellectual skill.

i guess i can say im smarter than most of people i'm around... as for classmates, i don't do too well in academics as many students, but that's because im not willing to work harder for perfect grades which i don't need... my sister isn't too smart from what i've seen from her so far so yeh.. i have some friends which I can tell who're smart, and as for the rest i don't really have intellectual conversations with them so i can't say for sure... and for my parents and relatives, i'm probably smarter than most of them but they have more wisdom ^_^

edit: LOL corrected the "is" to "isn't" after "my sister"
life goes on..

it should be are there any cities. wtf you actually said is there any cities....... wtf !

unintentionally you said you thought you were one of the smartest around. for someone that cant speak his first language thats a bold thought. language is a nice indicator of intellect.
