Re: Is your IQ so high it can't be measured? ADHD superpowers

[Tiddler]

my husband’s eq is extremely low – as an aspie. mine is very high. i’ve never really thought about it one way or the other but I suppose it gives a good idea of how we can relate to others – that said I am less and less sure that I am good at any of that…

also, re iq tests – there are othercultural issues too – like explaining what things are and why or how they’re used – for example what is the relationship between a dog and a hare – most people might say they’re both mammals and that may be the ‘correct’ answer, but someone who has observed the dog chasing the hare may mention that link. one thing I had to answer was how monarchy and democracy were similar – what i didn’t mention because i thought it was too obvious was that we have both in our country – yet he was probably looking for that.

and I topped out on one subtest asking me to list all the things of a certain group I could think of – as that is a particular interest of mine i talked faster than he could write, but a different group of things that hadn’t been an interest of mine would have revealed a much lower score.
