jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Here's a tip! Never ask your mate what his or her IQ is. I asked. The man's a Genius! Should've known! I went to increasebrainpower.com and discovered "less than 1/4 of 1 percent fall into this category. Hubby falls between the 145-164 Genius category! Should've known!

However, only one of us has even a smidgen of common sense when it comes to "Life, as not found in a textbook." Guess who?

ladyjane Registered: 08/22/07 Posts: 1761 Loc: Southern Maine, USA	I have to say "amen" to this. Sometimes a huge IQ seems to lead to....oh, I don't know how to say it and don't want to offend! It's great to have the capacity to learn deeply but can stunt the emotional growth at times. My IQ is right up there, but thankfully I can say I believe I have depth and caring for others before myself. Am I making sense at all??!! Just my observation from dealing with many others. _________________________ If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane ~ Jimmy Buffett

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	The IQ test controversy! Gotta love it. Being in education, I have to say the IQ test is only one measure of one type of intellengence. One type of intellengence. There are "book" smarts, "street" smarts, and emotional intellengence and intuitive intellengence. And that is just a few of the different ways to measure intellegence. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Right you ALL are! IQ is one thing but sensitivity and common sense are something else. He's smart in SOME areas. Then again he has other areas where he hasn't a clue. I don't even know my own IQ. Perhaps it's just as well. And, the man is unable to face truth, even when I'm proven right. He's a guy. He's always right!!! You know what I mean, gals. Hugs and prayers... _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf
