In my life I've encountered peeps with many years of higher edumacation that were dumb as a box of rocks out of their field.

(25,348 posts)...on Du ??...Naw, I'm so-so or even sucky.
Talking physics or being able to hear a song and tell you the key and chords by ear???
I'm pretty damn good. (Thanks to perfect pitch)

(41,991 posts)I'm very verbal and remarkably temporally smart and am artistic and creative and have high emotional intelligence but I'm dumb as a post when it comes to linear memorization type stuff (though my memory is, or was, good) and kinesthetically I can't find my butt with both hands. So there.

Which is why I don't wear a bicycle helmet either

hifiguy
(33,688 posts)pretty hopless with anything having to do with maths. I am the inverse of the typical Aspie. If I could have ever done maths well, I'd have become a theoretical physicist or a cosmologist like my hero Carl Sagan.

(27,461 posts)now I'm challenged by very simple things. At staff meetings, people summarize their work and I often think, "I wouldn't be able to do ANY of that".

(10,893 posts)Everyone has their own way of being "smart" and knowledgeable. A person can be smart about politics. A person can be smart about math. A person can be smart about playing NFL Madden. A person can even be smart about being dumb!
