    Smart people talk about ideas or hobbies or whatever it is they’re focused on.

    Dumb people talk about their IQ and how it means whatever half baked conclusions they decide to jump to.

        I know mine. I took an IQ test in my early 20s and got a high score on it. Didn’t mean a whole lot for me, I had already dropped out of highschool, then I drunked out of college and wound up fixing trash trucks for 10 years.
