NUGGET 8- LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE- 18th July 2011
- We are not talking of education but smartness. Because it is possible to be extremely intelligent without having a formal academic education.
- If one partner has a high intelligence quotient and the other partner's IQ is substantially lower, the couple are likely to be miserable together.
- The level of intellect we have, determines the depth of our communication with our partners. Don't marry someone with whom you would have a discrepancy in levels of intelligence.
- You cannot change your intelligence by reading books, it is a package of genes you inherited from your parents.
- Intelligence Quotient has to do with neural circuits in a person's brain. It relates to the ability to grasp new information, how rapidly the mind functions, how well ideas are conceptualized and information stored in the mind.
- Some people have everyday, commonsense intelligence, and some have "street smarts".
- Please test your IQ from the WEXLER SCALE. Compare your results with those of your partner. Any difference beyond ten is hazardous.
- Intellectual imbalances in marriage causes one person to talk down to the other,or one partner is too intellectually intimidated to ever voice a contrary opinion or stand up for himself or herself.
- Secure services of a qualified therapist to administer some basic IQ tests to you and your partner to avoid misery in your marriage. Make it a fun activity, a valuable learning tool, rather than a threatening experience. BUT take the results seriously.
- If your scores are similar, rejoice or move to examine your relationship in regard to the other dimensions. If your scores are greatly dissimilar i. e. more than 10 (If you and your partner are not in the same league intellectually...be friendlier to your partner and tell him/her the TRUTH)
I remain blessed
Kiago
