This is a somewhat illegitimate meme to post. So I shall start by reading from the rule book: we should resist the temptation to indulge in stereotypes, even favourable ones that are pleasing to the sense of our own self-worth. The problem with basking in the positive stereotypes is that 'society' will make you own all the negative stereotypes, too. So there is a need to challenge and reject stereotypes.

All that said, I can in all honesty claim that at least five of the seven positives here are true of me. And I'm far too modest to make the claim that I am a genius.
