Generally yes.

But even intelligent people make mistakes.

And intelligence isn't the be all and end all. I'd take empathy, compassion and personality over any measure of intelligence any day of the week.

Ummm… yes.

Empirically so at least, simply by virtue of tests but I’m also aware of the things that I don’t know, that there is always more to learn and probably a smarter person in the room that will know more about any topic.

Emotionally I think that I’m aware, self actualising and growing. I’m always a work in progress

Erm depends on how you measure it.

Academically, I've got bits of paper that say I'm good at thinking.

Practically, grew up on a farm so am pretty hands on and good at problem solving.

Emotionally varies on the situation I would say. We all have our blind spots.

people have a tendency to assume that being knowledgeable by dint of a good education is the same as being intelligent. It can be, but not necessarily.

Common sense is a term which I often take with a pinch of salt. It tends to mean the way the person invoking it likes to do things. It can be common but not always sense.

Real world intelligence I'm not so sure. We all believe we're above average but that's not how averages work so some of us can't be.

I do some stuff that's dumber than a box of rocks and behave so stupidly at times it beggars belief, so maybe I'm one of the below average ones propping the rest of you up.

Therefore having made the same mistakes time and again I’d say I’m certainly not intelligent despite knowing a lot of stuff.

For various work related reasons I've done quiet a few intelligence tests of various types and I generally score very well on being able to pick up on new concepts and ideas very quickly. Ultimate intelligence good but not great.

Overall it probably ties in with my preference of doing things where I need to know a little about a lot but never become an expert in anything.

I would say my EQ is reasonable.

I was invited to apply to Teen MENSA in 1987 through tests they did at school. I never cba to do it. My brother was granted immediate lifetime membership. He is trapped in his bed and has always been trapped within the prison of that superhuman “gift”.

Sometimes being so intelligent can be dangerous…

Very low practical intelligence. I really value that. I can barely put a Kinder Egg toy together.

He also said he was worried about me doing the course because he didn't want me to turn into a wanker. But I guess that's another thread

Yes, both of us, intellectually at least.

(About to sound naff, but hey-ho).

Why? We're both high academic achievers and have both got a really high capacity for memory and retention of large amounts of information. We've both been told that professionally, we think and problem solve much more quickly but accurately than others in similar roles.

And I read some of my old primary school reports at the weekend, the teacher's predictions were pretty accurate.

Emotional intelligence? Mr KC struggles with that in some aspects but not others, but that's his autistic side. I'm far too emotionally invested in other people, often to my own detriment. That's probably not very emotionally intelligent.

I'd never choose to describe myself as "intelligent", it implies that you think you're more cleverer than average. And there have been some studies with results that showed most people think they're smarter than average which clearly can't be true.

I don't think I'm stoopid maybe people that are don't realise it.

And who's deciding where the intelligent/dumb border lies?

I have skills in some areas and clear deficits in others so I reckon I'm dumb at football but quite good at logical problem solving.

Interesting question.

So no, I'm not intelligent.

You are absolutely right. I regularly assess High performing candidates to see if they’re capable of working at higher levels such as executive or CXO level.

Business reasoning & GCAT has a place here as does personality and behaviours which are fixed at around .8 and predict around .55 . Academic and exam performance gives only around .2 predictability for performance, It’s one of the worst measures of intelligence and performance.

Common sense is a totally meaningless term as is intelligence. Things like learning agility, strategic, analytical & creative thinking , decision making , leading performance, along with behaviour and lack of de-railers are what separates the best from the rest.

I’ve only ever met one person who genuinely thought they weren’t intelligent.

"I’ve only ever met one person who genuinely thought they weren’t intelligent. Statistically, it’s just not possible that they were the only person in the world with average and/or below average intelligence. So describing yourself as intelligent might be meaningful to you, but seems a poor tool for an objective assessment of intelligence "

Yep it’s well known most people think they are above average intelligence , which is statistically impossible. Cognitive & confirmation bias, social comparison, need for self advancement and to be liked and lack of accurate feedback on their true abilities all cause this.
