The man in the shack

Doug Adams once said of himself "I sometimes strike myself as being quite a clever guy, and sometimes cannot imagine how I can be so slow-witted and stupid, so dull and brainless. I can't understand why I should be able to write something which everyone thinks is terribly clever, and at the same time be personally so dumb. I think I'm schizophrenic."
Inspirational words from our bard and ones that motivate me to journey through the vast, wind-swept steppes of my own feeble-mindedness and to further stretch the boundaries of ignorance and hollow-headed benightedness.
But first, there's something I need to know.

If I'm stupid, how do I know that I'm stupid???

Is then stupidity a relative quality dependant on who, what, where or when you are? Or can it be more of a constant?
