Hey I agree totally. confidence is the key if you can maintain it. But you can be a comfortably confident individual(i.e. me), and still subject yourself to a little insecurity when regularly pummeled with the insecurity of others. Admittedly at the time I started this thread, I was feeling hyper sensitive about a teeny number of people, who are threatened by my perceived intelligence because of their a) lack of confidence, b) their fear of breaking free of the mold etc etc. I'm over it now (or deluded about being over it). But have been very interested to read the hugely intelligent responses. if anything they helped me remember that other people's negative opinions are just other people's negative opinions. How you react to them is up to you. also the kids at work think I'm cool for a dork, and they are chronically intelligent, so who am I to disagree?

Also, i have a disagreement with all of these damn tests and exams. (pretty much because of just finishing mine.)
cant intelligence be measured through some other way???
its just dealing out the stress and frustration.
Shiny.
