My intelligence exceeds the scale basically. I'm so smart I don't even need a brain. Geek

I voted above average as I have 2 degrees.  I like my metal to be used with care.  Blanket metal is about much good as smacking your head against a brick wall.

A poll about members' "sizes" won't be much more biased than this.

Yeah, I'll call myself above average, but at least I have a 4.0 GPA for 2 years in a row.

Just above average, there is too much music out there to limit oneself to a single genre.

Asking people to rate their own intelligence is just asking for skewed results. I'll say "above average" as I'm putting in minimal effort in school and still making great progress toward a college degree. Then again... I'm a psychology major which seems to be mostly common sense to me (at least in the undergraduate phase) and there may be some debate about the current state of education in the U.S., so who knows?

I'm not sure I like the implication of this Poll. You appear to be trying to find a correlation betwix liking Progressive Metal and Intelligence, whether you are attempting to proove an assumption or dispell a stereotype is unclear, but either way it would be mildly insulting if we were not intelligent enough to rise above it. My IQ, (if you are wondering what that may possibly be, then you can ponder away to your hearts content for I will not be disclosing any figures here or giving any indication within your poll-selections as to what it may pertain to), has very little to do with my liking of music from any genre you care to imagine. However, Prog-Metal roolz and Vanden Plas are grate.
 
yea, i'm an evil mind.

I'm still using a Gateway AnyKey keyboard at work, not kidding.  That sucker's over 10 years old.

I like heaviness in my prog and a little darkness, but a little bit goes a long way.  There's a lot to be said for beautiful and light (never lite) stuff.  Ultimately, one needs to broaden their horizons.   It's the diversity that makes prog music great.

What's your average time for the "hard" sudoku puzzles at www.websudoku.com? I'm still struggling to solve them below 15 minutes ...

btw: voted "above average" for myself as well ... my degree in computer science (grade 1.6 - which I guess is something like an A-) supports this theory.Wink

Member of MENSA (saddos organisation for those with a high IQ) and apparently officially a genius in their view - all that proves is that I can do IQ tests. I passed Maths/Further Maths A level at 16, both at grade A (in the same maths class as Tony Banks at Charterhouse School) but I don't think that makes me a prodigy.

Still can't do my tax returns on my own, though and I've never finished a Times crossword in my life, but I'm s**t hot at Sudoku! I can take ANYTHING to bits and guarantee not to be able to put it back together again, so perhaps a big chunk of me is "no brain".

So I'll settle for "above average".
