Are you more intelligent than most people here?

Quote from 1nibbler:

And. some of the most brilliant people I know are also the most lazy, least motivated, slackers I've ever known.

True, true!!! And many slackers also have a keen sense of humor that is also way above average!

Quote from prof. charles:

I know a lot of brilliant people that could never make a dime trading, so I'm not sure if there is any correlation between success in this industry and intelligence (as traditionally defined).

Exactly right. The smartest person in the world would utterly fail at trading if he/she lacked discipline.

intelligence is a useless measure of man.

bank account and power is the correct measure of men's ability to execute and apply his intelligence.

If all you have is intelligence and $20,000 in the bank, you are just as useless as a person with 0 intelligence and $20,000.

If you have no intelligence and $20 million in the bank, somehow some way , not from the lottery, you are millions times more useful then any einstein around.

Utilizing the least amount of intelligence for the most amount of gain.

Utilizing the least amount of risk for the maximum amount of reward.

Utilizing the least amount of effort for the max amount of consequence.


The only people who brag about their intelligence, are people who have only that and that only.

Quote from eagle:

Firstly, there is no way to measure correctly how the person is intelligent; while the IQ test is very controversial. Secondly, when the person X self-proclaimed that he is intelligent than others then there is a sign that he is probably the dumb one.

How can you claim to know which is the dumb one if there is no way to measure intelligence correctly?

Alot of you seem to suffer from delusions of grandeur... I just thought this would be an interesting poll to see how many.

It's tough to be humble, when you're a God like me...

Intelligence alone is not enough. You must have the personality that can win .. drive, will power and above all a keen problem-solving disposition that puts you among the few, not the many.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent." President Calvin Coolidge

 

[Renegen]

Haha, funny poll. What I don't understand is how can a person be a "genius" have "talent" and yet fail. Isn't the talent acquired from persistence and hard work?

Good quote by Coolidge of all people, it's one guy I respect..
