Technically I have a high IQ, but that is just a number. Besides that I consider myself decently if not quite smart. I recognize that I can come up with creative solutions to problems, but most importantly people come to me to ask for help for certain problems, which feels great and I think is a measure of how someone is "smart". I lean less from books and more from association and observation. I also generaly reach high in what I do, but that is more thanks to determination and ambition than pure skills. Of course I also lack in many other things, staying around and understanding people is difficult and making friends is incredibily challenging
