I think ppl have this tendency to label things as avg, below avg or above avg - I have a relatively high IQ but does that make me above avg in any way - no. Sure it helped me in my academics and in picking up new things fairly quickly but so does sheer hard work -

I prefer being the shy (by choice) introvert that I am in real life - not interested in making waves or drawing attn to myself in any way - if that is labelled average then I am happy because there is no pressure to be someone I am not :)
