There's all kinds of intelligences, Fuzzy. I remember how humiliated I was with a college degree, 2 college math classes, and I had to keep changing banks because I couldn't keep my checking account in order. I took "aptitude" tests from Johnson O'Connor
http://www.jocrf.org/ and I'm really bad at "clerical" skills (has nothing to do with typing, filing, etc. which is good since that is what I did for a living at the time :-)
You have many many intelligences, Fuzzy, that can help you in this fight, not just "intelligence" -- don't think too narrowly!
