I've never believed in having "intelligence" as a single line, a one-number-IQ, a person being "smart" or "dumb". The brain is a complex organ with many MANY different areas involved in cognitive activity, each area being stronger or weaker than others. Like me, for instance:

- In school I had writing and vocabulary skills far above the rest of my class -

- I have terrible mathematical abilities

- I had an ability to study psychology a quarter as much as everybody else in my psych class and understand and remember it better than most (I got 89%)

- I can't understand microbiology worth a shit

- Studying and understand relativity, and quantum mechanics, comes easily to me.

- Essays and reports assigned to me in school, which we were given 2-3 weeks to finish, I finished on average in 2 days and always got an A on them.

- every time I go downstairs to get something, I go into the wrong room and forget why I went down.

So yeah, IQ is over rated.
