Hi,

Recently I have started considering my eventual idiocy. The problem is, if I am an idiot How would I find out, lacking the intelligence to do so? What a strange disease this is that the more stupid you are the most difficult it is for you to notice...

So the question is if someone is an idiot, how would he find out?

All help is welcome.

Takes one to know one, so you've come to the right place.

It's not truth that I fear. I fear being stupid without me knowing it. What I need is method to see if I am an idiot. :)

#8: it's cold and it's raining. I intend to keep things philosophical, here. I don't want to play a game of Dare. By the way, it's not the same being crazy and being an idiot. ;)

If so, you're an idiot.
If not, you're still subject to tests.

Being kind is not the same as being nice. Being kind also includes real advice, real help.
