    I can say with one hundred percent certainty that I am the smartest. Same as any other person who is an only child.

    I am of four kids, so it's hard to say smarter than all or equal. So I suppose detail is necessary.

    I find myself to be very analytical. I take information apart and try to understand each part individually, to better understand it as a whole. I love learning and learn fast. I have strong interests in many fields. I'm book smart, people smart, and reason well with common sense. I'm not very worldly smart. By that last part, I mean I don't have good understanding of the "real world", but that comes with experience. I don't fully understand credit and loans. How to buy a house/car, going to a doctor or dentist. I don't understand co-pays with my blue cross blue shield. Etc... I'm also not much of a history buff and I'm terrible with geography.

    That being said...

    My younger brother is almost just like me, and the way I think. Every time I finish over coming something, I see him beginning to go through it. And he follows the same path, mentally, to come to the same conclusions. His subject interests vary from mine. He's also still an introvert, but I see him changing that like I did. He wants it like I wanted it. :)

    My older brother is book smart, I'm not sure how people smart he is, but he's great with handling people, and reason well with common sense as well. He understands the things I haven't dealt with in the real world. He goes to the doctor/dentist. Understands credit and loans. He's bought cars on his own. He has experience beyond mine and my other brother's. This all makes him smarter than us.

    My sister is completely different. She is book smart, but has a bad memory. She has lapses of common sense. She is people smart. She has a lot of advice, but very little experience to back up. She doesn't follow her own advice. She has more world experience than my younger brother and I, less than my older brother.(That makes sense according to age. Younger bro, me, sister, older bro) She struggles with math and I don't believe she has a passion in many subjects.

    To sum it up. I believe My Oldest brother is the smartest. Close behind would be me(because of a slight advantage of experience) My younger brother isn't far. Finally my sister.

    I foresee my younger brother and I leading as we gain more experience(based on the nature of our learning and perceiving). My younger brother my eventually lead if he remains reclusive. I find I have a greater passion for knowledge when I'm alone and single. Otherwise my thoughts revolve around making my boyfriend of the time happy and learning about him. I prefer being in a relationship to single. He may or may not have a preference as of now. (He's only been single so far.)

    Sorry about the book. :/

    My younger brother is such a good guy. He's respected and loved by many people. I think he's intelligent, but he's never lived in an environment that was conducive to intellectual greatness of any sort. Neither was I, for that matter, but I've always read books and he is practically illiterate. We think in different ways. I'm more analytical and think spatially about things, whereas he is better with people and more sympathetic to people's feelings.

    I have more book sense. My brother has more common sense.

    Yes I do. Admittedly, my brother is studying at Oxford and my sister is a successful beauty therapist whereas I dropped out of school, but I have the most common sense and life experience, I think.

      How do you know how much common sense both of them have?

        I know from family conversations at Christmas and such. They cant think for themselves, they do and agree with everything our parents say.

          Ah right:) For me it's the opposite, academically I'm doing very well, so a lot of people assume I don't have any common sense:/ Maybe that's true, although I've always thought I have decent common sense, but at the end of the day it's not like there's things that everybody knows.

    I'm the smartest sibling by leaps and bounds. I have the academic record as proof. I'm also the most athletic with awards as proof (multiple sports). :-P Rub it in!!! Dance a happy dance too, lol.

    I'd like to learn to play the piano. That's one thing my sister can do. I think I can learn it quickly.

    I was born last, so I thought I was the dumbest of my siblings for a long time. It wasn't until I got to know them better that I realized we're all pretty equal.

    It might help if I had any siblings

    I have an older sister but I'm smarter than her overall, like with general knowledge about a variety of topics, but she's smarter than me in the places she chooses to apply herself to.

    i definitely got the athletic genes. unfortunately my brother is pretty much a prodigy when it comes to intelligence so it's hard for me to compete in that arena hahahaaaaa

    One of my sisters is a moron, and the other one is to lazy to even try and be perceived as smart. I do infact think i'm the smartest of my siblings

    I'm pretty smart yet might not be the smartest but I know I'm the most clever one of my siblings.

    I feel like my sister is probably equally as intelligent as me. But she is only 16 and I feel that her age has skewed her logic at this time. I don't think she uses her brain as much as she did when she was 10.

    My sister is smarter than me in every way. I used to be smarter academically, but my intelligence seems to have declined in recent years.

    All of my siblings praise me for being highly intelligent, but I'm not so arrogant that I'd call myself the absolute smartest of all four of us though. I think each of us has particular areas we specialize in.

    I don't have siblings and even if I did, how would it be possible to compare one's wit with another's?

    I'm academically less capable, but in other practical ways more.

    I'm better at art, music and being generally creative. I'm better at keeping things in perspective and probably more emotionally stable. I'm more generous and caring, and a little more mature (despite my being the younger brother).

    He's better at maths, has a broader vocabulary and scores about 5-10 points higher in an IQ test.

    I'd rather be me.

    I guess intellectually yes, but my sister is smarter when it comes to how to treat people and socializing. So we balance each other out

    I'm more motivated than my older brother in school and have better grades than him all around. However, his lack of ambition is due to his laziness. If he really tried in school, he could've gone to an Ivy League I'm sure.

    I actually see myself as the least intelligent. I have one brother, a year younger than me. In any way academically measurable, he beats me hands down. He got into a better school than me when I failed. He is also more motivated by schoolwork than me. I think I am more intelligent in other ways, but in any way that is measurable at this stage I'll always be defeated.
