I think if I have to rate dumbness on a scale of 1 to 5, I would rate myself somewhere near 3 on that scale.. So I'm not the dumbest because there are too many factors that make taking intelligent decisions very tough for me..  Yet I'm not "average" smart either because I'm aware that average smart people in my position would not have done what I did.  So i would say that most people don't fall in the category of 1 to 5. Yet a lot of dumb people fall in the category of 1 to 5. And they can be rated in that.  The least dumb can be assigned a score of 1.. The most dumb can be assigned a score of 5   And the ones like me are closer towards the higher level so I'm somewhere around 3. Im not least dumb because I have done some pretty stupid stuff.  Yet I'm not the dumbest. Because there are also a lot of mitigating factors to my behavior in the past.  I also need to see that my personality didn't develop fully due to an abusive household.
