@snowcone Well, I value being smart, and to be fair whatever "intelligence" I do have is probably the best thing I have going for me (being shy, awkward, unattractive, and untalented doesn't exactly help me). But what I'm trying to get across is that self awareness is really important. Knowing your limits and giving yourself a realistic depiction of just how intelligent you are will help you so that you can become more intelligent. I get praise from my peers and often have people picking my brain (usually to my dismay but I don't like to be rude about it) but I don't think I'm some towering intellectual god above them (which is an exaggeration but still part of my point). I know there are some things some people will just catch onto quicker than others, and "true" geniuses are incredibly few and far between.
