Why are antennas a less desirable specialization than any other
specialization? Is counting the barbs on a fruit fly's penis to
determine its exact species somehow superior to antennas? :-)

Computer model experiment
 

Intelligence is a tool,

Talent is a tool,

But they are not the only tools in the box.

There is drive, there is curiosity, even OCD or Asperger's can be turned
into a tool.

There is memory. There is personality.

I'm around 150, but all that means is that if a problem interests me, I
can figure it our a little before someone who has a lower number.

Big deal. Some times I think there is something else too, but I'm too
dum to put my finger on it. I've noticed that there is something of a
troubleshooting skill that I've got/cultivated that often allows me to
diagnose a problem a lot more quickly than most other people. Even
that's not much help, because I can often figure out a problem in a
minute, then spend the next 20 minutes trying to convince the other
people I'm with. That's led to some interesting moments, but point is I
think there is some ability to compartmentalize mental functions that
isn't directly related to IQ.

A fellow who worked for me at one time had a figurative ton of talent.
Awesome photographer, highly skilled at tabletop studio photography.

Unfortunately, he had no drive, and his work life was a sad cycle of his
talent landing him jobs, and his lack of drive losing them for him.

I've known people with below average intelligence who had other tools
like drive and personality that made them successful, and a joy to work
with.

It is only a number and our individual talents can be very different.
I solve a lot of abstract problems and can instantly visualize things
that can and should be improved. It really does not matter here. We were
really just comparing notes, not bragging. I'm sure some on here could
bury me, especially in antenna design. I find that my brain wants a lot
of input so I study various things even though I will never work in
those fields. I'm 61 so why go back to school??
I am a generalist, not a specialist. Curious about many things, and as
you are posting I am still learning about humans reacting to a mere
number. I came on here originally to ask if anyone knew about a noise
blanker that could be inserted into the receiver/antenna, nothing more.
I did expect that most hams are above average, but did not anticipate

That does put you at the very least, above average.

unfortunately bill, art suffers from short memory also among his other
debilities. it has been explained to him several times by different
people that gauss'es law is perfectly applicable to both static and
varying fields without his 'improvement', he just can't remember it
from day to day.
