I've had people tell me that I'm the smartest person they know, but frankly that's just depressing.

I get good scores on IQ and aptitude tests but when it comes to things that actually matter or things that come up in normal conversation. I don't know squat.

Depends on the field. I mean, general knowledge wise, I blow most people out of the water, as I'm a fountain of useless knowledge. I'm also studying Law, Media and English Language, so in those fields I excel particularly.
Some people I know study Sciences etc though, and I've always kinda sucked at science. As a rounded individual, I'd say so, but it could just be like, vanity on my part.

Anybody that truly believes they are the smartest person they know is dumb enough to disqualify themselves from that title.

I don't know if I'm the smartest person I know, but I'm a pretty smart cookie. not that it's a good thing, I have a lot of problems dealing with people who aren't as smart as I am. if someone comes off to me as stupid I feel a healthy level of contempt for them.

My brother has told me that I am the smartest person he knows because I know at least a little something about a wide variety of subjects. Nothing that would help me through college mind you, but there are different types of intelligence I guess and without patting myself on the back, I see his point.
Top 5? maybe. I'm very quick and sarcastic and that has been said to be a sign of intelligence, but there are stupid things i do too.

I'm smart in the sense that I know lots of facts about things.
In terms of being street smart and having useful life knowledge, I know nothing

THE smartest? Likely not.
Top 5? Yeah, I'd give myself that much. Me smart.

I'm the smartest when I'm put among my mom's, god love her, side of the family. Among my dad's, it's a tossup.
