[QUOTE="Malika, post: 413668, member: 11227"] Yes, quite agree, Step. ¨Personally I have never set any store by IQ, which again seems a narrow marker of what might be called true intelligence... (only happen to know mine because years ago I thought I would test for Mensa, by whose standards I am a reject and failure as they only accept people with IQs of 140 and above :-)) And, at school I was never that brilliant - always shone in English, and did well in other arts subjects, but nothing exceptional. The label "gifted" never came near me! On the other hand, I was not that fond of digesting facts or information or studying (even though I went to university, getting an English literature degree). I loved reading, learning, discussing subjects of interest, though... just not the way they got mangled and dried out in the school mill! [/QUOTE]
