Since you're not an American, you might not have ever heard the Thomas Edison adage: "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration."

There are also people who will never score well on an IQ test but accomplish a lot because of their interest in learning new things, their ability to focus on a goal and their dogged determination to achieve it.
How would you rate your intelligence?
