MakeItSo: you say you have a very high IQ - what is it? Do you have any other evidence of your intellect to impress us with? I am curious.
I am normally very unassuming (you should be able to tell this from my other posts if you care to look) and even the writing patterns I use on this board are completely different then when I write a research paper. I do this because I learned early on that people hate intelligent people as a rule as it raises their own insecurity, they only see the positives.
I don't really want to give away my identity for obvious reasons but I can say that I have done a Doctorate in the hard sciences and it was easy for me (the science was, not all the other crap).
My IQ can vary depending on the test, and many IQ tests are really just testing knowledge and training. In the military aptitude test I took they told me that I scored equivalent to a 180 but I was only 18 and that test is not age adjusted; which had the recruiters eyes bulging considering that I had marks in the 60's in high school. I got in the 160's consistently on an official Mensa book I bought one time. I also have done up to a 170 test for matrix tests, which I think are the best form of IQ test. But like all forms of tests you can get better at them with practice. I don't believe IQ tests are representative of an individuals intelligence though, I think they are good for populations though.
I am not trying to get street cred on here I was asking for help and lo and behold I got it! Lots of good responses here.
You know what? She is the smartest female I have ever encountered and she is good for me. Me even asking these questions of myself is evidence of that. She has previously admitted that she has issues and even offered to go on a kind of retreat to sort them out. She also found out about my hobby and even said she could deal with it to me.
I suppose we are both used to being smarter than everyone else and therefore in control. But we are also both isolated for the same reasons.
I don't want a pet I suppose. And she is still very young, I did not allow her much slack at all. I was too harsh. But she does piss me off and we will have to talk about that. It will be a series of battles and she will eventually win the war, but that is as it should be.
So I am going to quit with the MP and SC scene. I will have relapses I am sure but I plan to recondition myself over the next 6 months or so.
As far as we go, both need a little more time to heal but I will play the game as much as I have to and we will get better together.
Goodbye you demented maniacs!
