Americans Think They're Smarter Than the Average Americans

Fifty-five percent of Americans think that they are smarter than the average American (YouGov survey). A humble 34 percent of citizens say they are about as smart as everyone else, while 4 percent say they are less intelligent than most people.

… Men (24 percent) are more likely than women (15 percent) to say they are “much more intelligent” than the average American. White people are more likely to say the same than Hispanic and black people.
