[QUOTE="Kuld, post: 2749632, member: 28351"] I hate to jump in so late in the game but I believe that intelligence is very hard to gauge even with a standardized IQ test, ASVAB tests, etc... I always score high on these tests and I really don’t consider myself to have an above average intelligence. As a technical instructor, I’ve seen so many people with such diversity in intellect, that it upsets the vary definition of intelligence. Some one could be very smart in one area but be so clueless in another and to a degree where some would consider that individual “stupid”. Which, I assure you is not the case. What may be the case is that this person’s intelligence may not be “technically oriented” which has nothing to do with “overall intelligence”. It merely states that they should probably choose another career path. IMO, intelligence comes in all shapes and sizes, colors and amplitude. Someone who you may consider to be “not so bright” could very well be a blast to play an RPG with. People always surprise me; something I hope will never change. [/QUOTE]
