    Are you, in your estimation, intelligent?

    No. Particularly I get the impression other people get things faster than me, and I seem to have to do more cognitive labor than my peers. I guess I would ask what “intelligence” is, that seems like a difficult thing to quantify or answer.

    Are you wise in the way you apply that intelligence? (interpretation yours)

    No, I generally consider myself unwise. (It takes me a long time to learn from my mistakes or change self-destructive behaviors, etc. - it often feels like I have trouble “adulting”.)

    Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?

    Both, how else could it be? (We are both subjects and objects, unique but usually only slight variations of a theme.)
