Reply to "IQ test"

I'm not sure why your IQ matters at all to your T? It has little to do with your emotional acuity. At many job interviews they use tests that are at least half useful and rate more on thinking SYLES. MENSA used to be something you could put on a resume, now people are only in it so they can measure something ... Cool .... I've met a number of people (family, work, friends, etc), with extremely high IQs who were emotionally tone deaf (and an equal percentage elsewhere on the IQ "spectrum").

I think b2w is right in what she's saying about the clock in many ways. Lots of famously insane people were considered highly intelligent - I know sociopaths tend to be in the higher IQ pool also. I know... about zero non-socially awkward high IQ people but I tend to hang out with socially awkward people in the first place so maybe that doesn't count!! Anyway not sure what I'm saying other than what draggers is saying about common sense... there are so many different types of "smart".

If your T treats you different I hope you'll consider leaving... whether she's going to talk to you slow in 3 letter words because she's judged you as 'below average', or she's going to talk to you only in haikus with a minimum of 3 8 letter words because she thinks you're a wonder genius she's suspect in my mind. I don't even know why they use these for kids either. But, I digress...

((turtle)) I like you just as much whether your IQ is 1 or 3001. I think your T should figure out how to relate to you by actually relating...
