Intelligence: a gift or a curse?

Question

and why do you feel the way that you do?

thanks =)

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Curse. That's why I'm one happy camper.

Answer 2

A gift. In junior high it may be a curse because the dumb kids think your a nerd, but that's only a stupid phase. Intelligence can be enjoyed after you get out of junior high.

It can get you a good paying job and I know about junior high because I have been there.

Answer 3

I think it's a gift to those that are blessed with natural intelligence.

But a curse to those around them, as those with the gift have a tendency to be slightly arrogant to others not quite at their level.

Answer 4

A bit of both,

Gift: not too many possess true intelligence

Curse: attitude problems arise from it and people tend to take advantage of 'the smart one'

Answer 5

A gift.

Why I feel that way? I consider my intelligence to be a bit above average, and well I can't see any downsides to it, it only helps me, granted sometimes I might over think things but ahh well.

Answer 6

GIFT! duh?!? lol! =)
