I know I'm not incompetent now. I thought I surely got no higher than a C on a test I took last week, but I got the results back today and I made the highest score not just in my own class, but even when compared to all the other classes. (99% on a fairly difficult 100 question exam :cool:)

The entire time I was reading it, I was paranoid that I was missing some sort of joke where there were tons of mistakes, and it was supposed to make you feel superior, then point out how stupid you were. So either I am incompetent and didnt notice it, or im not and i overthought it.

I frequently find that I am not as good as I think at some things and that most people are, in fact, worse than I am at others when I thought we were all about the same.

WHAT AM I?

Hah, I'm totally not incompetent. I'm not even reading that because I am confident in my abilities, probably moreso than others.

Wait, so since I'm constantly acknowleding how stupid I am, that means I'm not incompetent?
