In comparison to the average of the population? We're all above-average simply because we try.
Just like someone who benches, say, 185, is stronger than 90% of the non-lifting population. They're not good, but they do it. So. Vulgar you're drunk.

Are we talking knowledge or intelligence? In all honesty, I think I'm only moderately more intelligent than the average population. Moderate is a considerable amount, though. |

I can be when I think before I speak...but thinking before speaking is a thought in itself so in reality I guess I'm only in the 51st percentile

Well I've been in the 99th percentile since middle school
SO TOP ONE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IS OBV. Honestly this question is too broad. People can be geniuses but retarded in most areas and vice versa. Since this is a writing forum I'll put it this way - since we are all working within the constraining framework of making everything have to rhyme, we are becoming worse as overall writers. Topicals and battles enforce horrible writing habits. I think a lot of the topicalists here would translate well to short stories though. Dead Man, Oats, Pancake , Pinot Grij and myself come to mind. Just saw a really nice ass walk by. In terms of writing IQ, which I think you're getting at, the aforementioned writers, plus yourself and a few others here with work can easily reach genius level at short stories and eventually novels. It's about skill and repetition. 150 Writing IQs abounding

An average puzzlemaker can build a rubrics cube if he's given a drawing
Many of the worlds best writers weren't even that smart. Smart people just thought they were worth reading

I'd say most great writers were pretty brilliant. I can't think of an exception actually. Lots of fuck ups and alcoholics, but that often breeds some serious insight on humanity.
