Are you, in your estimation, intelligent?
Are you wise in the way you apply that intelligence? (interpretation yours)
Do you view yourself as unique and individual, or as a data point on the spectrum of humanity?

Are you high? 🤣 Jokes aside, I would be interested to know why you are asking these questions.

Yes, I am intelligent, a lot of people have been impressed by the speed I digest a new piece of information.
I have wisdom to know that intelligence plays a very insignificant part in shaping my identity. As for putting my intelligence into good use, I am not sure I can answer yes. I am too idealistic for my own good.
IMO humans are unique and similar at the same time. Though, we got to be careful when trying to identify our similarities (see biopolitics, especially M. Foucault).
