My friend was telling me that everyone thinks they are smart. It's obvious that the majority of people here should either be average or smarter than average(if the gaming community is smarter) but i'm under the impression the majority of votes will go in the top 3 boxes. 
Also heres a relevant saying, "the first step to being smart, is realizing your stupid". 

Edit: I should Clarify, this isn't Knowledge, or Charisma, this is processing power, i have a friend who goes to Harvard who is like average intellect, he just studies hard. 

Results so far: You guys are ridiculous... a normal curve... well its supposed to be even amount of people saying they are below average and above average. Also whoever voted Genius is either not taking the survey seriously or is in RIDICULOUS DENIAL. There might be a genius or two lurking around but i have doubts ANY of us are, its probably those high horsed atheists who voted genius. 

In terms of IQ, 100 is the average, the standard deviation is 12, Einstein was supposed to have about 150, so statistically that  means that 1 in every 10 thousand should have his IQ. Also 68 per cent should have been average, above, or below. Even the very smart, it should be like 1 per cent of the people, assuming an IQ of around 136. 

Basically if all the labels moved down one, so geniuses turned into very smart, the results would start to look like a normal table, but still the geniuses have to be reduced.

Smarter than average. Definitely nowhere near a genius. But compared to the other people I know, I'm practically Einstein.

One's intelligence is usually more accurately determined by someone other than the one in question.  So, you'll have to ask someone else about my intelligence.

I'm probably closer to average, though a lot of people think I'm a little higher than that.

I don't really think I am, but people tell me I'm smarter than average. So I guess I'll go with that.

Not everyone. Those who are capable of looking at themselves honestly and accepting their flaws can answer these kinds of questions without trying to brag.

I took an IQ test back in the day and I scored a 140, so apparently I am intelligent.  I am lazy though, have been out of school for a decade, and only read about ten to fifteen books a year, so I am not as smart as I could be.

To put it in words you can understand, Quantum Physics is a 5th grade level for me. I taught Einstein his theory of relativity.

I wouldn't say I'm a genius but I know I'm definitely very smart and according to this online IQ test I took just for this topic I have an IQ of 122. Also, according to this Google search I just did on what an IQ of 122 means I've find out that it means I have a superior intellect so I'll choose very smart. 


Fuck that was a lot more work than this topic required.

Someone once said I look smart (don't know what the fuck they were basing that off of) so I obviously voted genius.

You should have included the IQ brackets for these categories! Relative terms are too subjective! This study is flawed!!
Anyway, my IQ's like 62, so I don't even know what I just said

I always found it a bit absurd to try to quantify one's intellect outside of data collection for testing/placement. Your score may elate or disappoint you, however feeling  too smart or stupid because of test results will hinder your progress toward your goals in life.
