No, my mind is simply in the average range on most things.

Instinctive thoughts, intuition, and gut feelings are the kinds of thing the OP is getting at, rather than whether someone's mind is above or below average.

My mind has outsourced many of its activities to other parts of my body; I didn't ask it to do this.

My mind tells me what to do. I don't do it, so it takes its revenge.

For some that takes the mind longer to figure out than for others.

a matryoshka, or nesting doll, is normally associated with russian culture even tho the practice of nesting boxes prolly originated with the chinese

whenever i examine the properties of the mind (using the mind to do the examination) and notice that the principle mind seems to be governed by one or more of the secondary minds as decisions are pondered
in turn, those decisions are refined by alternate decisions, disappearing into an infinitely smaller vortex of mind numbing decisions, one after the other in a lemming dance of pawn proportions

i am reminded often that thought processes are confusing for me and i am more content and at ease when i think less

Where do YOU see your mind as being? Above or below average?

My mind often instructs me to open a bottle of wine {or two].

I asked my wife about this, and she concurs. She said I should agree with this, 110%. So, yes, I concur. 110%.
