Thank you very much for your answer. It gave me a lot to think about. To answer your question - I have been told by my peers and teachers that I have “potential”, some pointed out that I am exceptionally good at grasping new concepts. From my point of view I “sort of” accept whatever new information is presented to me as truth and my mind goes into a kind of overdrive. It constrcts all the possible realities and finds inconsistencies or irregularities. It just doesn’t know when to stop. Over time, I believe I have improved the way I communicate these imaginations of my mind which I suspect makes people think I am smart. However, this doesn’t say anything about whether I actually understand the concept or if I have deep knowledge of the presented subject. This, in my opinion, is an appearance of being smart rather than actually being smart.
