Surprised there still wasn't a response despite seeing this post yesterday.

On topic, the best you can do is:

  1. Start solving some problems;
  2. Write down your thoughts, and compare them with your future thoughts
  3. Read more, because even if you are rational it does not make you omniscient.

I don't think you should be worried much about intelligence either, I think it's vastly overrated.
