I find what defines intelligence interesting.
Recently went to a conference with a ‘thought leader’ professor. Proper high brow discussion around chaos theory and why certain project management methodologies are more appropriate in certain circumstances. I could feel my IQ grow just listening to the guy.
Would I employ him to deliver something? Absolutely 100% not. No chance.
Kind of where the idea of EQ comes in.
Anyways, wine fueled ramble. I find most people I regard as ‘intelligent’ are not outwardly happy, they seem to feel that they haven’t lived up to their potential and keep striving for more. Whereas the not so gifted seem to be happy treading the same path, over and over….
