intelligence isn't monofactorial, but some psychometricians posit a high-order g-factor that influences performance across intellectual tasks. compared to all u.s. college students, would you estimate your g as below average, average, or above average?

Above average for some things, below for others. Voting “average” but with nuance

hesitantly above avg. only because i have scored high on iq tests (ik not same metric) and have noticed that a lot of things are a lot easier for me to comprehend/succeed in compared to other ppl i know

most "are u smart"-type polls are very skewed, so i wondered what would happen if i phrased it more 🤓 technically

obviously this question is more nuanced than "are you smart" which also plays a role

I think that the current results unfortunately still support the idea that any poll asking participants to rate their own intelligence will inevitably be skewed higher.
