Your 'I WILL' is more important than you 'IQ'

The ones I take usually come out somewhere in the high 130's. But IQ really is just a number, and it isn't what score you get on a test, it's how you use your intelligence that matters.

Hi Humbug! Like you I've never had mine either. And I'm not sure either if there are jobs that actually hire you for your IQ. Like you said, the 'I Will' seems to be more important. But how do one ensure that the 'I Will' is seen by one's prospective employer upon applying for the job and the subsequent interview. Just got me thinking. Interesting topic though! And thanks!

hi humbug mine was once 140 so do not know what it is today but I am intelligent and yes my I will is just as important, but so is my I will not as I had to learn to say no instead of being a wimp all the time. Will you do suc h and such, Mrs. Hatley, u m ah okay. Then I kick my self as I really do not want to do that so I have to phone and say, Sorry but something has come up and I really cannot do that such and such. Next time I will just say no to start with. So I wont is also important.

I'M NOT SURE I EVEN HAVE AN IQ lol.If i do i don't know what it is. Mine would probably be low to but we're making it & that's the main thing.

I agree with you. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter what your IQ is. As long as you are a responsible and conscientious person with a caring heart. My brother is mentally retarded. He's about 55 with the mentality of a 12 year old and I love him very much. He's a very beautiful person. I certainly respect him more than most other people I've met in my life! I have an IQ of 145 which is genius level. But, like I say, your IQ isn't the only thing that makes you who you are and nobody should ever put all their 'eggs' in the 'IQ basket'. Have a great day!

I.Q tests have so many variables. For example the USA I.Q. tests given to children out here should never have been used as our children did not know until recently what hot dogs were. Why? because it is not part of their daily food etc. They eat differently. I am only giving an example - I could have used hamburgers before Burger King came to the Island. Now every kid knows what a hamburger is. Yes, I have had my IQ tested as an adult. I did not score high in science and maths but scored very high in the arts and literature = writing etc and exceptionally good on word power. Like many people I am bright in certain areas. so I do not rate I.Q. tests very highly as a tool dealing with children.

I have no interest in my IQ Humbug. But my "I will" means an awful lot to me. My ability to perform quadratic equations is of no use when compared to helping my friends with their shopping or taking a minute to chat to someone that hasn't seen another human to speak to in a couple of days. Giving what we can defines us as people I think. Being intelligent is lovely, but giving of yourself is lovelier.

I can't really say that it is... but 'I will' is definitely important. If you can have a bit of both then you can easily be a high achiever. You can't just have brains to succeed, you'll nee the determination too, but it'll also be hard if you only have determination and do everything with stupudity.
