I would like to share the story of a Chinese Kid monk.

When he was a boy, he was adopted by the monastery when his parents passed away.
He did not know how to read or write since he was poor, and did badly in day to day lessons. He did so bad up to the point that he was called “stupid” by other kids.

One day he met the Master of the temple.

Master : What’s troubling you, young one ?
Kid Monk : Sir, I’m sad that I’m stupid.
Master : Ho ho ho, you’re not stupid, if you know that you’re stupid.
Kid Monk : I am stupid…. So I’m not stupid…?
Master : Precisely. Hohohoohohohoh !
Kid Monk : *Smiles.*

And then the Kid Monk ran to the other kids and started proclaiming how stupid he was.
And then he said “you’re not stupid if you know you’re stupid”.
All the kids were confused by that phrase. And all came to the conclusion that the Kid Monk wasn’t so stupid after all to be able to confuse them all. The Kid Monk then became a genius that helped people to proclaim how stupid they were. To prove they weren’t stupid.

End of story.

You’re not stupid if you know you’re stupid.

Confused ? Same here.

Took me a while to realize the inner meaning.

Being stupid means you can’t think straight, it’s like being a babbling lunatic.
If you can think that you’re stupid, it means you still have a mind. You can still think.
That you’re stupid. But you’re not stupid if you think you’re stupid.

Get it ?

So guys.

Go out there, and proclaim how stupid you are.

You’re not stupid if you know you’re stupid.

Then again I’d prefer to know that I’m not stupid by taking an IQ test, thank you very much. Always wanted to know my Intelligence Quotient.

So I went and took an IQ test online by tickle.

Here’s how stupid I am.

Not bad…140.

I’m a visionary philosopher.

Highly intelligent.

Have powerful mix of skills.

Exceptional math and verbal skills.

I’m a bloody equivalent of Plato ! Some famous Greek philosopher in the past !

This is a much better way to show that I’m not stupid.

Then again you can go ahead with the “proclaiming how stupid you are” idea if you’d like.

The average UK Tickle user has an IQ of 119.73, by the way.
What’s yours ?

Find out how stupid/smart you are.
