The CDV effect.

I think you need to include a CBer at each percentile for reference.

I was very intelligent until about 15 years ago. Now, I'm a doofus.

I think I’ve gotten dumber as I’ve aged.

I blame it on being on CB too much.

Intelligence isn't knowing facts or theories, it's the ability to think critically which you've still got in spades.

Is this the same as asking if you’re smarter than a 5th grader?

Where is the 99.9% option?

Im top 19 in intelligence on the board

monkeycowboy

I highly doubt that. Maybe top 19 in your profession in your town, thats also on the board.

The self rationalization would be pretty good

Disagree. I believe it’s simply that the smartest on CB are those who

Or maybe they couldn't figure out how to vote, haha

I'm smart enough to realize not everyone can be the smartest.

Fascinating results, 90% of CB is above the median

Probably smarter but tons more lazy

I anticipate a normally distributed curve for this poll

In that case place yourself in the lowest bracket

CB as a whole is incredibly dumb. Individuals are pretty smart, but as a whole

Based on what? GPA? Vocabulary? Annual Income? # of Speeding tickets? Hot wife?

As stated in the prompt, that's up to you to define as you will.

Costanza

Probably not as smart as I think.
