Ironically, you are not an idiot or stupid. If you were an idiot or stupid, you wouldn't even be aware of the fact. The fact that you are aware of your limitations indicates a level of intelligence often missing from other members of this community.
As for intelligence, it comes in different packages. Some people are mathematicians; Some are mechanically minded; Some have an affinity for language/s; Some have spacial awareness; Some have absolute control over their own body; Some can influence others without effort.
Who is to judge who is more intelligent and who is less intelligent? The fact is that intelligence is a subjective manner. If you take two people, one who attended university, and one who didn't, who is most intelligent? The one with the degree? How do you know that the one who didn't attend university may have achieved a higher result if they HAD attended university.
Some people are in the right place at the right time; Some people get where they are not by what they know, but who they know; Some people get where they are by their appearance, and not their intelligence.
Our world is an unfair place. We still live in a society that favours those that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, or those that appear knowledgeable. There are people who have ability, but are discriminated against because of their gender, race, appearance or age. The world is not a fair place.
