Do you believe you are intelligent?

It's a very straightforward question. In general, do you believe you are intelligent? We need not go into details nor branch off into ''book smarts'' or ''street smarts'' etc.

I think most of us have the same capacity for learning and intelligence, its just a matter of applying it.

Seems like these bulletin boards are saturated with people who think they are intelligent!

I don't think of myself as intelligent....i can just do things. The concept that everyone else can't do what i can do is still one i can't get a good grasp on.
It's made people tell em i'm arrogant....just because i think they should be able to do what i can. Sometimes i just don't get it.

Thats an area of huge debate in psychology. Some people believe that one's ability to learn is genetic. Some think it's a matter of applying yourself. I think it's a mixture of the two and some environmental factors as well.

Interesting!
Intelligence has lots of meanings, both within www.dictionary.com and the real world  If intelligence means IQ the poll can only be tainted because fact of the matter is that the majority of people who are online are in the above average group.
IQ should mean I Question instead of I Qualify as its used to pour you into a mould rather then look for what your qualities are.
For me intelligence means the degree to which you integrate serious thinking and deliberate learning into your lifestyle: how often and to what degree you use your brain and logic to get the job done. Intelligence in my book stands apart from the success you've got with using your brain: thats a question of being smart/wise.
You can use your brain alot but be "dumb", yet intelligent. You can be smart or wise but unintelligent because you slack it. Only those who are very smart/wise AND use those skills a lot can ever be called a genius.
We need all kinds. Its a beautiful sunny day over here right now and I find myself cracking the concepts of mind behind the PC. Yup, thats intelligent, but is it smart?
I'm going offline, call a buddy & hang, swapping my intelligence for smarts and then snuffing both out with a few brewski's

I think most of us here probally are intelligent....
Sure most drug users are idiots....but those that do a drug like mushrooms are obviously looking for something more than an escape like a narcotic drug....simply looking for that "something more" shows above average intelligence because most people dont even care/bother to look for anything "more"....

Well i have to say that statment is based on the drug users i see in my city....most of which are tweekers, and crack heads, and imo anyone doing those drugs is an idiot...
Those that smoke pot and do party drugs arnt necessarilly idiots, but many of them are....or seem that way to me i should say...
It hard for me to type out what im thinking....I dont want to seem hypocritical because i smoke pot everyday....but i feel like an idiot for smoking pot everyday...because i know it causes problems in my life, mainly robbing my sucess in collage...
I guess after writing this i would change my answer and to i am not intellegent, because i dont use drugs, i abuse them....I would probally restate my original statement to be "Most drug abusers are idiots"

I think there are many intelligent people on this board for the most part.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*
