I don't really care how smart a person seems to be on paper. It's the persons skills that I care about. If it's work related or sports, it's all the same.

The higher intelligent person has zero common since. They are always told the answers, read the answers, they never experience the answers. Thus they truly know nothing.

Truly smart people often fail in one basic subject, like math, reading and writing. This lack of being able to grasp basic concepts is often made up in other areas. Like truly talent in sports, music, or anything work related - like running your own business.

I almost failed high school, I only passed the math part of my grad exams. And if you can fail the SAT, I failed it. Reading crap from books on subjects I don't care about, then writing about them, and never really experiencing anything killed me.


Now, today I have ran my own business for 12 years.. and I look back and just laugh at how stupid the school and state was about getting me to past a stupid ass test that means and meant nothing to my life.
