I’ve never seen an allegation that ADD negatively impacts sociability as it relates to salesmanship. In fact, I gather many ADDers find their niches as salespeople. Filmbuff, if I had to guess, I’d offer that your inability to sell may have more to do with an IQ differential—you just find it hard to relate to the rest of us pillocks—than anything else.

And… on a number of forum strings, I see an insinuation that there is, or may be, a correlation between high IQ and ADD. Is there any empirical evidence of this? If so, where can I find it? I’m not being snarky, I’m just curious.
