Daniel Larson, due to his upbringing, his plethora of intellectual disabilities, and many other factors, is not very smart.
School Years
Daniel Larson originally went to the Tennyson Center for middle school education and would later go attend Sobesky Academy[1] for high school. Daniel has not talked much about school. Larsonians presume that he was a social outcast due to his multiple issues.

Danderson furry lore
Daniel actually graduated from high school...
Math
Math is an unfortunate fact of life many people have to endure in the modern era. For most people, it is a minor inconvenience, but for Daniel, math is more of a barrier. His math abilities are a major problem with how he deals with his finances, his lack of them probably impairing his judgment of chance which encourages him to further waste his money on gambling.
His money management skills are probably extremely hampered by his math skills, it being one of many reasons behind his gambling.
Arithmetic
Basic arithmetic encompasses addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, percentages, and basic algebraic equations. Daniel is somewhat competent with these, at least with the addition and subtraction.
Daniel would upload a video of him doing a Math challenge where he wastes his time doing a simple subtraction question, demonstrating his lack of mathematical expertise.
In this clip, Daniel is able to at least manage simple addition, managing to decipher the complex problem of six plus six, figuring out it is trelve.
Dealing with larger numbers is more difficult for him, however, as the image above shows. You could chalk it up to Daniel being bad with time management, but who knows. This clip provides us with more evidence that Daniel just doesn't know how many days, weeks, or months are in a year or each other.
In this clip, however, our great leader is unable to solve 4^2, and struggles with 4-2. It is unknown if his inability to do these questions is because Daniel does not know what square roots are, or because Daniel does not know what "four" is.
Speech

Daniel is able to speak English well enough... most of the time.
Literacy
It is quite a possibility that Daniel would be functionally illiterate, mainly due to his poor grasp of money. For example, Daniel would spend copious amounts of money for one meal at a restaurant, when he could go to a cheaper restaurant such as a fast food place, and get multiple meals.
Reading and writing
Daniel can read and write basic information, but his typing style and use of language is somewhat idiosyncratic, not matching what most English speakers would consider "standard" usage. This could be because he heavily relies on the speech-to-text (dictation) feature on his phone, which sometimes interprets words based on Daniel's pronunciation, resulting in misinterpreted or altered words.
Handwriting
Daniel's handwriting, while not a confirmed diagnosis, exhibits traits often associated with dysgraphia. It can be perceived as writing of a child between kindergarten and second grade, around 5 to 7 years old. On one occasion, Daniel seemed to create a shopping list, jotting down items he needed to purchase like "tv ᴅeɴɴers" (TV dinners,) "Jiuse" (Juice), "cheese," and "Bʀᴏwne" ("brownie").[2]
The provided example, a message to Andrew, showcases Daniel's capability to construct adequately correct and coherent sentences despite his notably poor handwriting.

Gullibility
See also: Delusions, Nuclear attack, Trolls
Daniel is a very gullible person, prone to falling for obvious falsehoods given to him by his 'management'. He tends to unquestionably believe in the authenticity of individuals, even obvious trolls or impersonators, trusting them at face value. Daniel clearly doesn't even consider that maybe that person isn't really who they say they are.
One popular example is his Celebrity in the hospital rambling where his managers trick him into believing that Grace had died. However, Daniel would have rare moments of lucidity when he realizes he is getting trolled; most notable when Daniel got stood up by "Grace" while waiting for her at the theaters, somehow realizing that he looks "delusional" and "stupid" and that "no wonder Bob thinks [he's] an idiot."
