In Brasil we call a nerd/geek a "CDF as cu de ferro"= ass of iron, because they are always sitted studying.
Haha. My boss jokes about how his former classmates called him that (he's from Argentina) when he was studying to be a Certified Public Accountant. What's even funnier is that he's one of the least "geeky" people i've met. A real honest-to-goodness American in that he came to this country to make a life for himself and his family with benefits he could not get for his family in Argentina. He works very hard and does not take his freedom for granted.
Well...good thing in this world there is a shoe that fits the right foot or some saying like that. Not everybody will like us but many or some will.:smile: :tongue:
Your optimism about others is infectious. I like that.
I do have short memory and attention spam going on as not fixing things in my mind than as much I can read I will even forget the book tittle...I'm much distracted and may fix things in my mind as learning how to do it explained with clarity objective etc. My IQ is very average kind of 108 or 118..dont remember...LOL...
IQ scores are often arbitrary and in the end are only an indicator of what one's learning potential
might be. They certainly can't determine how driven one is, how positively they respond to their environment, or give information about the curve balls life throws at us. Or the length of our attention span.
But I enjoy your ways MB..you have quality of make files in your brains the things your learned experienced etc..what I find very cool because your thoughts goes out from you organized etc. Cool!:wink:
That's very kind, thank you. I wish the files in my mind were as organized as they appear, but i've learned there's always room for more files.
Are you intelligent or have dash of geek?
Intelligent? I suppose that's for others to decide. Incidentally, my parents never revealed my IQ scores. My sister made some inquiries years later and told me but I don't remember the exact number. I do have a dash of stereotypical geekness in that I like science fiction books and films, have a healthy interest in alchemy, astronomy, and the natural sciences. Does that answer your question?
