Meeting Men and Women in the Middle

The most prominent response to our poll came from those who identified their intelligence as 'Average - 50%'. Now this may not just represent commendable self-awareness, but it is also a testament to humility popular in our society. It possibly hints at a majority viewing intelligence as a broad spectrum with numerous subsets.

The Top Achievers and Humble Underplayers

With considerable responses in the 'Top 25%' and 'Top 10%', we can perceive a society that is not just self-aware, but confident too. It’s inspiring to see such self-assurance about one's capabilities. On the other end of the spectrum, we have responses falling into 'A little below average'. This might be an example of modest underestimation or perhaps a disconnect between self-perception and the societal norms defining 'intelligence'.

The Silent Thinkers

Interesting is the segment of 'I'd rather not say' indicating a share of respondents who either find intelligence too complex to confine within percentile boundaries, or perhaps regard it as a private matter. The responses to this poll, like many others performed at Eureka Surveys, provide a snapshot of grassroots sentiment that isn’t always accessible through more traditional means. So, if you are looking to make money online or simply wish to voice your opinions, Eureka Surveys is your platform.
