- NEW!
Depends on what it is we're talking about. When it comes to human emotions, maybe a 9. When it comes to how to fix a car, how about a flat out 0? Not even worth a 1.
9.99? - naa say 10!

I agree with AnonymousGirl that my intelligence depends what I'm being judged upon... that being said if I am going to subject myself to being graded on a scale,
(and I'm assuming 1 is low, 10 is high...)
then I would estimate the average of my intelligence in various subjects to be about a 7.
While various tests I have taken would tell you I rank even higher, I tend to think there are certain things that can only be learned by experience. Also, there are many subjects that cannot be measured well in mere tests, only in actual practice. There are many forms of intelligence: academic, emotional, social, etc.
I tend to think I score very high on the academic scale and fairly high on the emotional scale, but probably below average on things of a social nature. Plus there are various subjects which really fall into none of those categories (creativity and artistic ability) which I feel cannot really be measured, but I would suspect I'm slightly above where the average person lies in those abilities.

Percentile wise, according to bogus standardized tests, I would be a 9.3 to 9.9.
I'm sure those are poor indicators of intelligence, though.

I'd say 8.5
by canoeguide on August 14th, 2011
I would be just as intelligent as I happen to be whether on the scale or not. These attempts at putting pigeonholes around people accomplish little that's helpful and often lead to mistaken views of others and their lives.

7. Apparently, I'm not smart enough to get rich, but smart enough to be the only one who knows whats going on at my job;)

Intelligence on every subject? A very low 3.
by loveschimps on December 13th, 2007

9, as long as higher numbers mean more intellectual ability
by Whitehair on September 14th, 2011
My intelligence was never tested. But I am intelligent enough to navigate AB nicely, write a book in a second language and live a life admired by many on a minimum budget.....
by iwnit on April 23rd, 2008
I would first go down from the scale to think about it...

by Mr. Meaulnes on December 13th, 2007
5, although I sometimes push a 7 when I'm having a really good day.
by BDazzled on June 10th, 2008
5 is never an option on the 1-10 scale right? If I'm wrong, a 1...if I'm correct, a 10.
by Yougesh on April 30th, 2008
Its always 10 for things of my interest, else expect the least, 0.

Thirty years ago, they said I scored a genius on the IQ test, the points were there. I felt that I was no genius then, and I am certainly not one now. But here, I will rate myself as a 2, so those on here will not have much room lower to ridicule me.
by Rufus on September 14th, 2011
Since AB requires me to put at least 2 characters in a reply I am forced to say 10.
by ccrunch171 on September 14th, 2011
I will be conservative and say 7, although I do consider myself very perceptive.

That's why they give IQ tests, so we can't rate our own intelligence, because no one would have an answer that is remotely accurate. I happen to know that I'm smarter than the average bear.
by jordan davidson on May 7th, 2009
I would say smart people never make a lot of money so i dont care if i'm not a 10 becos the smart people envent things for an empolyer to sell and the employer make the money so the smarter person isn't the guienous it the emplyer isn't it so on that basis
I'm a 10
by Tveg on April 22nd, 2009

Can you get some idea of a person's intelligence based on their Q&A's and comments on AB?

Do you think the IQ test is an accurate measurement of intelligence, or is intelligence more complicated than that? What is intelligence?

Do you want your leader to be smart,intelligent or average? Does intelligence intimidate,average comfort? Which would make you prouder?

Fixing a car doesn't require that much intelligence (well, nowadays it does because they are rolling computer networks). I could teach you pretty much all you need to know about cars in a few months.
The physical principles on which cars operate are actually quite straightforward. The actual work is just removing (and reinstalling) nuts and bolts, which is akin to taking apart and putting back together a jigsaw puzzle.
