Do you consider yourself to be smart at all? How well did you do at school/uni(college)?
At the moment at my school we have levels for the better and worse people. We have focus, core, accelerated & AE (academic extension). Focus is the veg class; where the 'less intelligent people' go. Core is your standard class for average students. Accelerated is for people that get higher grades in tests/assignments & AE is pretty much the nerd class.
I'm in accelerated maths, science, S&E (Geography, History etc) & Japanese & core english (although I'm getting high grades in english).
So, where do you sit on the intelligence level? Are you an avergae student? Slightly smarter? Nerd? Or less educated? Did your high school do similar leveled classes?

I would agree that intelligence is not defined by grades or by IQ, but I see where you are coming from.
I've always believed that I was pretty smart. I finished High School with a 4.3 GPA, being the Valedictorian of my class. I think intelligence has to do with more than just academics, probably a mix between academics and what I call "street smarts" (world stuff). Those and common sense, of course.
I like to consider myself fairly intelligent, I've always done well in school. I agree with the above though; you can't use schoolwork be it grades or standardized tests, as a measure of intelligence.
Nope I got it in before someone mentioned it. I'm really beginning to get tired of people on the internet thinking they are Einstein Jr.'s because of what their IQ test says. I see it too much on places like Reddit these days.
