    well, since I’m humble, I’d probably put myself at well above average + 1. Or +2.

      I scored in the 90th percentile on the ASVAB and was in advanced classes in school, which I considered pretty easy, so that’s a good indicator of where I sit. But I have friends who make me feel stupid with their intellects.
