Misconceiving one's intelligence

[Mitera Nikkou]

This has been an issue for me since the dawn of STUFF. People always think I'm more intelligent than I think I am, when I'm pretty sure that I'm as dumb as a post. No one seems to take my word for it. ;/

Dumb as a post. That's rich.

[Xia]

no, I have enough problems with being as smart as I am without making things worse by believing myself to be smarter than that

[Mitera Nikkou]

You've got it backwards, genius.

[Marky]

It happens sometimes with me. Some people think I'm really, really smart, but I'm not THAT smart...at least when it comes to Calculus and all that abstract math. >.<

[Blaze]

My older sister thinks I'm some kind of genius.

>_____<

[Mitera Nikkou]

My younger sister thinks the same thing! And she's almost done with college, to become a forensic scientist, and I'm a high school dropout! XD;;

[Feng]

Occasionally. My dad seems to have the misconception that I am so brilliant computer guru or something. I have no idea where he got that notion from... =P

Well, I'm in my first year of university and she's the high school dropout.

Clearly Nikkou is me in OPPOSITE LAND.

O__________O

[Mitera Nikkou]

I'm your younger sister!? Gaspu! D:

I still think it's weird, though. Although I'm surprised with what I know, sometimes.

[KonokoHasano]

I've had people mention about how I seem smarter and stuff. *Shrugs*

[Mitera Nikkou]

You must be eating your Smarties like good children should.

[Xia]

You've got it backwards, genius. :P

I think I got it completely correct

[Mitera Nikkou]

Nuh-uh. It's not you thinking that you're smarter than you think, but others. That drill hasn't bored through your cranium, has it? ;p

[Xia]

I've never had a problem with others thinking I'm smarter than I am, I can usually prove them right after a while.

effort ya know

[Mitera Nikkou]

To the moon, Xia! To the moon! Not past it!

And, on this point, I try to prove people wrong. Me? Smart? How absurd!
