Do you see yourself as the smartest of all your siblings?

  • 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. :/
