Would you rate yourself as clever?

[Robster59]

Clever at what? Or just generally clever? What defines clever? A Polymath, a skilled craftsman, doctor, teacher, director, orator, writer?
I consider myself reasonably intelligent but in all, a jack of most trades, master of none. I have a great knowledge of the obscure but can't remember anything about the places we've been on holiday.

I took a Stanford-Binet based IQ test a couple of years back. Well chuffed with the score but know that means relatively little. For example, I couldn't, nor wouldn't, plumb in a gas central heating system.

 

[FairwayDodger]

I'm thick aparently. I voted for Brexit.

Good self-awareness though!

Don't know about clever but I am certainly a smartarse.....

 

[GreiginFife]

I'm good at spotting patterns. Like the one where this poster starts opinion threads and never contributes beyond the original post...
Almost like they were generating viewpoints...

Other than that, nah pretty useless.

 

[Dasit]

Thought I was clever until I met someone who was actually clever.

Although everyone is bluffing life to some extend.

Didn't spot that Greg. 18 posts of which 16 were new threads I think.

And all ask for you to decide on or give an opinion on something, usually a seemingly random but obscure subject. Odd behaviour for joining a golf forum to only post opinion makers IMO.

Probably similar mentality to those who feel an urge to give their opinion, or at least comment, on as many threads that they can.

My degree sugests im clever but the picture says no. Bigslice BSC

My Eldest daughter aged 7 thinks i am the smartest in the house.Never asks her Mum to help with the homework. Does that count

It's the only thing that counts mate..

 

[Pin-seeker]

I do have access to Google,so I guess that makes me an expert on everything.

 

[bobmac]

My sister is the most intelligent person in our family (into which she married)

 

[patricks148]

I have two degree's, i would not consider myself clever, but i do know loads of stuff, that no one else is interested in

 

[guest100718]

Yes.

 

[Ross61]

As others have said, what do you class as clever?
I took two different types of IQ tests for MENSA and was accepted, but I don't rate myself as clever. I just have a logical brain with lateral thinking.
This has made me able to be a good engineer in telecoms. I also can turn my hand to most DIY jobs at homes. Except things like brickwork and plastering.... now anyone that can do plastering without most of it ending up on the floor is clever in my eyes!

 

[USER1999]

I quite like being thick. It gives me low expectations in life, and i am rarely disappointed with not reaching them.

this is probably the only thing I have in common with DJ

I have got by in life - have qualifications but value the life skills and lessons learnt more.
