I'm in total agreement with Shamou on this. I do believe there are different areas of intelligence. We all have different skill levels in each area. My brother was an average/below average student-but his mechanical skills are out of this world. From the age of 2, he was taking apart anything he could get his hands on so he could figure out how it worked and put it back together.
I scored over 130+ but there are times I feel very unintelligent. I think we all feel that way from time to time in different settings and circumstances.
I'm an ENFJ btw-not really sure what that means in the big scheme of things, but its interesting!.
