Other then IQ tests.....How can I find out how smart I am? I think I am a complete idiot as far as I know. People say I am smart but they are lieing to me. I want true facts that I am an idiot or intelligent. I am only 16 so my recourses are limited. How can I find out how smart I am?

Your asking the wrong question. Your question should be answered within yourself. The question I am referring to is: in what ways would you consider yourself smart? Do you understand people? Do you know crafts, arts, music? Are you book smart? Good at math? Athletic? Do you have common sense?
These questions are for you to answer. Intelligence is more than being ranked first in your class, it's your ability to do things on your own level in life. You might be better at some things than others. Find out what your best at, and you can say that is your inner intelligence.

Everyone is smart at different things so its impossible to measure true intelligence with the exception of certain gifted geniouses out there that actually maniupulate and run the world....those people prob have IQS of 250 plus and maybe even 300 or more. I knew a guy with a 160 IQ and he seemed like a complete idiot sometimes to. I have a 135ish and I know im not the smartest guy out there but I can usually outdo people in most thinking processes especially when it comes to strategy games

It's not so much the IQ, but the way you use it. Intelligence is measured by curiosity and ability to solve problems. Are you a problem solver? Do people come to you for advice? Do you do well in school without too much effort? Do you enjoy learning? These are some of the criteria that determine intelligence. The fact that you don't know many things is due only to your age. As you mature, you will know more. Intelligence allows you to make connections and to see patterns. This will come in time. Most intelligent people realize that there is much they'll never know, but they seek solutions to questions that have never been answered.

Look around, ask yourself do you know those things that you see. do you know how they live? how do they perform? how do they attract people?then your a smart guy. Remember, their are 8 kinds of intelligence, those who excelled in studies, in arts, in athletics, in culture, and others. so you may have been low in other activities but you excelled in something. So your a smart guy man. Everyone of us is unique and you cant despise each one of us.

there was a show in TV the other day called "battle of the brains"
it would give you lots of ways to measure your self.... I think it was in the science channel.

Read any book and if you can't pronounce a word....then you're not smart.
