    How easy is it for you to pull facts and figures out of your memory at a moment's notice? Can you understand complex reasoning? Do you use big words?

    I am coming to believe I am quite stupid. I can construct a sentence but I can't memorize anything for crap, can never bring up knowledge when I need it, can't win an argument...its as if all the different areas of my brain are quite smart on their own but can't work in unison. A lot of it is to do with food intolerances...certain foods make me crazy and when I go on a bland diet for an extended period of time I can think as clear as day and challenge people that I consider intelligent, but if I want a semi-normal diet I have to sacrifice my head.

    Does anyone else struggle from stupidity issues?

    Buddy, you don't want to ask how stupid I am. I reached for my toothbrush near my mouth and it wasn't near. :(

    Being stupid is one thing.

    But I strive to be both stupid and arrogant.

    If you notice, there is no way someone who's both stupid and arrogant can be beat in an argument. [​IMG]

    I have a lot of trouble with consistency. I consider myself to be fairly intelligent, my IQ tests and psychological evaluations have shown that my brain functions at a higher level than most people, but simple memory recall and easy tasks are hard to hone and retain.

    I have ADD so it's hard to be consistent in my learning.

    right now, i'm pretty damn stupid. i can recall things i just read over the past week that i have lots of interest in. outside of that, everything is fuzzy. i get stumped making up sentences, spelling words. anything outside of my schedule is hard to recall.

    this is fixed when i take my EC stack

    I have a hell of a memory for people and places...for conversations that have occurred. That sort of thing.

    I cannot always pull facts out of my head right away. For me, it depends on how often I have researched or come across the information. I am a fast learner but if I don't use it, I lose it.

    Sounds to me like you need to eat a healthy diet. Food is so important. Who cares if it is bland,if it helps you think clearer? That seems to be a matter of choice there buddy.

    i'm very smart in most ways. but there's a few areas that i'm retarded in and they make me seem much stupider overall than i really am.

    also i smoke more pot than i should, so i am probably stupider all around than i used to be...
