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. 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 any hostility. Don't be so touchy, I came here to learn and possibly contribute some of my projects and how they turned out. 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. That does put you at the very least, above average. A fellow who worked for me at one time had a figurative ton of talent. |
