I used to think I was undersold, but as I get older, I am more and more accepted I'm just not that bright a person, Im not saying I'm an idiot, Im just a person with pretty average intellect and skills.

i feel this about how i am right now as well. In grade school i was one of the "smart kids" which was just like sheets of 100 simple division problems timed to see how fast you could do them. Most of it was and is memory and just having things click.
In 11th grade My Marine Biology teacher preached studying like crazy, study study study he would say until your brain was a file cabinet that when asked a question you just open up the drawer and retrieve the information.
I never studyed and did better most the class, i just tribute it to my memory that i felt i learned it while writing it down and listening.
