I’ve never had an IQ test, so I’m just going to assume I’m stupid. Hey, all the more reason to push myself to learn more! Some have called me smart, yet others have called me smartass. Perhaps it’s both, or perhaps it’s neither.
Whether or not I care to be defined as “smart,” I will say I do have an uncanny ability to understand complex things as if they were simple. easily—machines, electronics, and the like. But I’m also not great with people in real-time verbally, meaning any of the wit I have when I have the time to think about a response is nonexistent, and it’s replaced with frustration. I also have about as much athletic ability as a rock. So, I mean take whatever aptitudes I have and decide for yourself if I’m smart or not.
Edit: Oh and I use my memory as a crutch. People around me know that when I say I remember something I AM right, always. There’s no ambiguity in my mind. Either I remember in detail or I don’t. Anything else, I’m lying. Yes, I often lie about things I actually remember, because sometimes the level of detail I remember would freak people out. Take my memory away, and I’m a shell of my former self.
