Re: Do you consider yourself intelligent.

I'm intelligent enough to know what I don't know.

Intelligence is great, providing it is not artificial.

That's good mate, you're switched on and it shows a sign of forward planning i.e. intelligence.

My problem isn't so much connected with leaving the RAF, it's because I was very impulsive when I was younger and built up a mountain of credit card debt. And that is stupid and not intelligent at all.

On the other hand, I have paid off my mortgage and only owe two years on a huge loan for two years and then I should be alright. At 60, I'll at least get a forces pension for the 12 years I did and that's when I hope to go part-time, if not retire completely

I've forgotten more than what some people know about some things.

Re: Do you consider yourself intelligent.

I took an IQ test once.

It came back negative.

Was I relieved!

See, what is worrying is, the creators of AI, have never had a proper job.

Re: Do you consider yourself intelligent.

Definitely not, otherwise I'd have made better decisions. Is it a cultural thing to be so self-deprecating?
