To which do you refer?

In my life I've encountered peeps with many years of higher edumacation that were dumb as a box of rocks out of their field.
I've also known high schools dropouts sharp as a tack and grok any topic.

[BlueJazz]

4. Depends on the subject and circumstances. Putting my thoughts into great posts...

...on Du ??...Naw, I'm so-so or even sucky.
Talking physics or being able to hear a song and tell you the key and chords by ear???
I'm pretty damn good. (Thanks to perfect pitch)

Probably all DUer's can relate to the above words in some way.

5. My IQ is high but I'm lopsided.

I'm very verbal and remarkably temporally smart and am artistic and creative and have high emotional intelligence but I'm dumb as a post when it comes to linear memorization type stuff (though my memory is, or was, good) and kinesthetically I can't find my butt with both hands. So there.

[MiddleFingerMom]

6. Do these hands make my butt look lost?

[nolabear]

7. Never. But then I don't have your middle fingers.

[fizzgig]

21. i need a map and a flashlight to find mine

thank gods it's attached or i'd never have anything to sit on.

[AsahinaKimi]

8. Smarter than the Average Bear...

[Art_from_Ark]

19. LOL

Omoshiroi!

[rrneck]

9. How does this pole thingie work? nt

[MiddleFingerMom]

10. Whenever I start thinking that I'm smart, I say THIS to myself:

.
.
.
"If you're so smart... why aren't you smart?"
.
.
.
Shuts me up every time!!!
.
.
.
Fuckin' idiot.

11. Head not so smart but I've got a smart ass.

I'd like to see the freepers take this test.

[bluedigger]

12. There's gonna be a test?

Is it going to be "open book"?

[hobbit709]

13. Smarter than the average bear.

[femmocrat]

14. Too smart for my own damn good!

At least that is what my dad used to tell me.... Of course, he always preceded it with "You people are . . . " (he meant my siblings and me)!

[pipi_k]

15. Dumber than my dog...

who actually has to run my computer for me.

[hfojvt]

16. there needs to be a higher level

since I am like one step above a genius.

It says so on my card

Which is why I don't wear a bicycle helmet either
since my head has already survived several direct hits from anvils which fall like rain around here.

[hifiguy]

17. Brilliant with words and abstract concepts, but

pretty hopless with anything having to do with maths. I am the inverse of the typical Aspie. If I could have ever done maths well, I'd have become a theoretical physicist or a cosmologist like my hero Carl Sagan.

[Enrique]

18. i used to be smart

now I'm challenged by very simple things. At staff meetings, people summarize their work and I often think, "I wouldn't be able to do ANY of that".

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

20. I, on the other hand, am getting smarter all the time

As my kids keep gettin older, I'm not nearly the dumbass they assumed me to be.

[tjwmason]

22. I don't believe in a single scale of 'smartness'

Multiple different intelligences...

[KamaAina]

23. Off scale. Really.

Of course, the WAIS only goes up to 145.

[GoneOffShore]

24. Je suis passable.

[Generic Brad]

25. One IQ point away from Mensa eligibility

It alternately amuses and annoys me when posters tell me I don't comprehend an OP or I just don't get it.

[Jamaal510]

26. It depends.

Everyone has their own way of being "smart" and knowledgeable. A person can be smart about politics. A person can be smart about math. A person can be smart about playing NFL Madden. A person can even be smart about being dumb!

[applegrove]

27. I'm excellent at some things, not so good at others.
