No.

Results are as I expected.

Who voted no?

InkL0sed · Post by **InkL0sed** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 8:34 pm

Shocking!

That person is probably the most intelligent voter...

I'm not the smartest (especially in Math and science), but I'm not exactly a vegetable either.

Wow there are a lot more intelligent people than I thought there would be. Oh wait, it says do you THINK you're intelligent. Everybody thinks they're intelligent. If they're not, they don't know it, cuz they're not intelligent enough.

Or maybe you can be smart enough to know you're not that intelligent. Like MTG here.

True...but maybe realizing that he's not intelligent makes him intelligent. I'm not sure what that means, but it seemed like an intelligent thing to say.

Or you could judge by whether you can spell "ridiculous" or whether you know the difference between "you're" and "your" :lol:

WHO not HOW
i mean that it is not up to us to say we are intelligent, i believe true intelligence rests in the individual's actions and how they show they are intelligent. there are very few intellectuals humble enough to not go around bragging about how smart they are and just do what they are supposed to do. I believe the people who have this trait are the true intellectuals

If we weren't intelligent, we wouldn't be here.

I don't think you can get more unintelligent than that.

sometimes i moonlight as a person who probably is intelligent.

I really shoot for intellectual more than intelligent though, cause im a bit of an elitist i suppose.

But I am hamburger smart. That said, you use an IQ test. Hint: Under 110 = rather average, under 100 = below average.

Well this is a Risk website...odds are that people who like strategy games enough to visit the forums here are, in fact, above average when it comes to brains.
