Reply #6: Has Nothing To Do With IQ, and School Testing Means Only So Much

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

I was on dishonor roll almost my entire high school career. I got suspended more times than I could count and was basically a social promotion. My IQ is 165 which makes me a genius.

My wife, on the other hand, was a straight A student. She graduated from college with a high GPA.

When it comes to common knowledge, book smarts, street smarts, politics, current events, news and otherwise, I run circles around her.

Even the other day we were arguing and she brought up how she was straight A and I was a horrible student. I said "yeah? what did those A's do for you? As a matter of fact, can you provide me ONE, just ONE piece of information that you can remember from H.S. that you now know because you were such a good student? Just One???" Well, she couldn't. I run circles around straight A students constantly. But it is because I have a high IQ, not because I studied well for test in H.S. of which contained such irrelevant crap most people can't remember 95% of what they got right on those tests 5 years later.
