I can't vouch for IQ personally (whatever that is... we can argue the validity of IQ testing if you like.) All I know is that I consider myself above average intelligence in many aspects, but rock bottom stupid in others. I'm no quantum physicist but I articulate well. I've been told I'm insightful. I have a good idea what I want out of life, but I don't know how to go about getting it. I was awful at school because I was really bored. I loved art but hated algebra (mostly because I hated my teacher; I love algebra now!) I love learning but hate studying, if that makes sense. I aced most of my Psychology courses in college yet haven't finished my degree. I completely and utterly fail at relationships. I guess it depends on what your criteria are for how you define "intelligence." Smart people do stupid things sometimes, and idiots will sometimes do really smart things.
