Are you talking book smarts? Diplomas? Degrees? Grades in school? IQ tests?
Growing up I futzed around in school mostly, but I always tested off the charts. My reading comprehension and spelling were always 3-4 years ahead of my current grade level, however in math I was always behind.
Last time I had my iq tested it was 139 and this wasn't an internet iq test but one that was done during a series of tests I had gone through about 5-6 years ago.
I graduated high school have had some college but no degree, so if we were to compare degrees I'd more than likely lose. However I have known many "honor students," and college graduates that couldn't tell their ass from a hole in the ground and/or are basically functionally retarded when it comes to matters of life.
I think I'm smarter than some, but I also know I'm dumber than others. I love growth, and cannot ever see myself never trying to learn or expand my knowledge.
