As others have said, wow am I impressed with your ability to communicate in a language that is not your own. I have traveled to many places and do not learn other languages easily. I consider my IQ decidedly average and have never had an IQ test. I am a firm believer that we can get "dumber" or "smarter" depending on whether we take care of our health and challenge our minds. I have to admit that some of my "most favorite" (my language skills aren't great) jobs did not challenge my brain. Among them: the Youth Conservation Corp and the Young Adult Conservation Corp. I worked for the US Forest Service planting trees, fixing barbed wire fence, burning old, dry tree limbs, cleaning campgrouds, etc. It took no brains at all--I think I sort of liked that plus working in beautiful places. IQ isn't everything, there is emotional IQ, determination, hand eye coordination (take it from someone who has worked amongst fighter pilots--some of them have high IQs and some of them don't but it seemed like both types could fly their military jets well), athletic ability, musical ability and I bet many more talents people have that can bring contentment and success. You know I enjoy messaging you because I just like you so much and value you.
(If I though of you as "stupid" do you really think I would feel so strongly about your worth?) --this was actually not the "smartest" way to word this--everyone has value and actually "stupid" is calling yourself a name that I don't think we should call anyone, especially you!
