I think that I am intelligent. Other people have the same impression of me generally. I like to be goofy too though and I definitely don't seem too intelligent sometimes, though maybe quick witted. I can do some things a lot better than others, I suppose that is considered intelligent. Do I think it's because I'm bipolar? No. I developed the skills and tools that allow me to be smart long before I was diagnosed. I think my personality is the main driver of my intelligence. Is bipolar part of my personality? I suppose I could make that argument, but it is a chemical imbalance, not me on a typical day. Things may have occurred in my life that drove my mind to compensate by changing those chemicals. So you could say my experiences led to being bipolar, but I would not single out intelligence.
