There are definitely different types of intelligence. Common sense... street smart... emotional intelligence... IQ... I am extremely tenacious, very efficient and I think this makes up for the absent mindedness on my part. I am a slow learner. But I work hard. Like the turtle versus the hare. I do see when my absent-mindedness or slower thought process aggravates people who think quickly on their feet and are more socially aware. I can tell when people like this are impatient with me or are underestimating me... But I will see little details and pick up on other things that those people don’t... And I get aggravated when really “smart” people come to what seems to me some really dumb and impractical conclusions... and make what I consider stupid choices... or mistreat others because they think they’re so much smarter. We all have something valuable and intelligent to contribute in one way or another. I like to think that anyway. ❤️
