Feel free to share anything you can think of  |
My IQ is 134.
But, a high IQ is only one form of measurement. In particular, it measures one's capacity to identify and understand abstract principles, but only certain types of abstract principles.
Take the term "Genius." What does it mean? Traditionally, it means a high IQ. But realistically, a Genius could be a painter who slaves hours and hours to find just the right color, only to break through his artist's block, and create the perfect physical expression of the beauty he experiences within his creative mind.
A Genius could even be a loving mother who knows just the right words to say in order to calm her crying child.
A Genius could be anyone and in any form.
But particularly related to your question, about the style of thinking itself. I think a lot. I also analyze situations a lot, intuitively and involuntarily.
However, my fondest moments come when the experience of thinking itself, stops. I embrace those moments of absolute Peace, with gratitude.
