Man I am not on anybody's list. And I don't know who I would put on mine. I don't even know what I would categorize as smart, or know when one is smart.

I feel like I've just been trying to not compare myself to others, so much I that I have gotten out of touch with these things.
I also don't think I am the person here, that I am in real life.
 
Someone has already mentioned Jackson50. But I will mention him again. He doesn't just use the big words, he uses them properly and at the right time.
 
That's more than one month.

You have a quick wit about you.


I feel like in my posts I don't always post things in an academic way but more in my own feelings based off the facts that I have come across.
So I would not say myself.



However you all fail as WedgeX is the smartest on this board.
Next smartest is SC2 gaf.
Next is poliGAF.

you are star for just that one thread alone. you will always be a star.
 
Shocking may be smart but 9 times out of 10 comes off as a patronizing dick. Hito, Kab, Stump, Ghal, Pigeon, Gaime, DY. those are guys who are very smart but also easy to get along with who dont try and make sure you know how intelligent they are.

I think you're smart because of the Krispy Kreme thread.
 
I am pretty sure that I would end up on a stupid posters list somewhere. I tend to be very opinionated and probably off-putting to a large number of members.
 
I cant name names, because it feels like almost anyone can impress most of us if given the chance to participate in things that really fits him/her. I have had to re-evaluate what I think about certain users many times in this forum, when reading a detailed post regarding one topic or another. It is the beauty of us humans :P

I think it's a good answer. We all have our fields of specialty, so it's really hard to pin down any one poster as being the smartest. It's not as clear as things like who makes the best gifs.
 
Matters are not helped when psychologists cannot even agree on an operational definition of intelligence. As I understand it the most popular definition is "the aggregate or global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his environment," which comes from Weschler (the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale is what most people are talking about when they say "IQ test") With that said, my FAVORITE definition is "Intelligence is what intelligence tests measure."

Separating the formal conception of intelligence from what society commonly understands to be intelligence can be difficult and lead to a great deal of confusion. Having a vast store of knowledge that you have memorized is something that would make people say "wow you're smart", but has no relation to the theoretical construct that intelligence tests are trying to measure. As you note here, there are also multiple kinds of intelligence as identified by various people, and intelligence in one category does not reliably predict it in others (some may be related, although separating them into discreet things which cannot predict each other was the whole point of having a theory of multiple intelligences).

I would suggest that internet posts are a very poor way of metering intelligence, at least in the formal context, since we are so rarely given an opportunity to display anything other than knowledge.

I agree to the notion that intelligence is what you do with that knowledge and apply it. Measuring intelligence by posts on the internet is indeed weird by that definition. However, if you can take both sides to an argument, I would consider you smart.

It's a variable construct, because an intelligent person can be dumb in other areas, like if he/she turned out to be a bigot which makes for no logical sense.
 
CountDookake, Thunder Monkey, Log4Girlz, Lionel Mandrake and AniHawk really come off as clever to me. The quippy posts give that impression.

You are Intelligent :)
 
Was the OP looking for someone to mention him? Is that why he did the 1 month ban request topic that he blew up? He mentioned that he trying to fill a void that should be left unfilled.
 
I don't know who the most intelligent posters on neogaf are, but I know the one poster who is always correct.


John Dunbar.
 
I don't really think the definition of "intelligence" is that important. It's like if someone asks you "who do you think is the most beautiful celebrity?" You don't need to define beauty in order to answer the question, even if you do have your own view on what it is; In fact, it's how we each interpret the question that inspires the answers.

Symmetry, man!
 
I find both Ghaleons to be intelligent. That their political/economic views differ so much is great.

Others I find to be intelligent, insightful,wise, clever, and/or smart:

Charlequin
Fragamemnon
Stumpokapow
Jackson50
White Man
Empty Vessel
Hitokage
Gaborn (RIP)
Drinky Crow
Astrolad
Phoenix
Opiate
Mandark


I can certainly say there are hundreds/thousands of other posters who have made me more intelligent through their contributions. The ones I mentioned are just the cream of the crop.
 
The mods are obviousky a big standout since they are much more collected and thoughful on what they post, kinda have to be to make an example of proper forum usage.

That said most people are being kinda short sighted when it comes to different kinds of intelligence, I ussually consider every poster who makes me laugh as a smart fella




also im smart you fucks
