Grew up in advanced placement classes (IB) but was very middle of the pack in those classes. Voted above average.
Then again, two of my classmates were the inventor of the Nest thermostat and a Rhodes Scholar that is now one of the executives for Square, so maybe I should have gone easier on myself.

Smarter than a fifth grader. But that's as far as I'm willing to go.

I went with average.
I have a masters degree in Electrical Engineering but have a very limited scope of general knowledge. What I know, I know well, inch wide, mile deep stuff.

My Knowledge Bowl team took 6th at State. What does that get me?

Easily the best in math at a fairly large high school. Very good in science. Just got by in language classes. In college still near top in math, but below average in other subjects. Math classes were my only A's in college, overall average GPA. But I did not really put in the effort. Would have been better off majoring in math tha engineering.

Jack of all trades, master of nothing.
I know about some art, a lot of music, some geography, some history, decent at math....a little of everything, but not an expert in anything.

Smart enough to do just enough to get by at a ski town college, and ski just about every powder storm in four years. (maybe five)

I've always done well on standardized tests. I scored an 800 on the math portion of the SATs and I did very well on the MCATs. However, those tests were taken back when I had brain cells.

Similar here - general business/communications degrees. Pretty good at general people skills and trivia.
Wide variance of experiences across the career - advertising/public relations/marketing/sales/call center management/business process analysis-improvement/new business start up/regulatory/new electric market start up/IT ...blah, blah
Not really jack of all trades, but just went from one opportunity to another. Only two companies across all those jobs.

I have focusing problems.
I'll read history books for a month, and then get bored and switch to fiction or fantasy.
I'll focus on playing piano for 6 months, then switch to really sitting down with the guitar.
Will play chess for 6 months spurts, then switch to poker every night, then switch to crossword puzzles for 3 months.
I'm sure there's a named disorder for this (I am ADHD, so that's likely a big part)

Yeah I have to write in my notebook those who are "gifted" and "extremely" above average, so I may follow their great intellectual contributions to this forum. WTF have I been missing????? That's what I'm asking myself right now!!!!!

Not knowing how to answer pretty much says it all, doesn't it? I mean, it wasn't a tough question.
