Why? I am pretty smart. I have great ideas. I do not know how to make them work, but I have great ideas.

Well, just don't forget that we've always had millions of stupid people who had "great" ideas they could never make work either. :D

And maybe your biggest problem is that you are still too young to know HOW to do things. Time and education will fix most of that.

I don't think that anyone is an idiot and it only shows how disrespectful and

rude others are in saying so. Sometimes people put others down because it

makes them feel superior somehow but in reality it only shows their

ignorance. I'd like to understand why you can't make your ideas work. Can't

you find help from others around you in making it work?

My husband is very successful, highly regarded, high up in his company, he has great ideas, but its like his brain falls out when he walks in the house.
He's not smart at everything. No one is.

people are you, I, and others. If you are so susceptible as to fall prey to others' ideology/beliefs, than you must realize the fact that they want to control you and mock you because it amuses them. NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF

Why? I am pretty smart. I have great ideas. I do not know how to make them work, but I have great ideas.Just exactly how do you know these ideas are great if you can't make them work???

If you really are smart but your ideas don't work, perhaps you're working in the wrong field.

I do not believe that anyone is an idiot. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses, some greater than others, but each is our own. And no single human mind can be compared to another because though we have our similiarities, are each different in many ways.

So why did you bother posting your IQ results?

I disagree:

id·i·ot
–noun
Psychology. a person of the lowest order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25.

But I think we can safely say no one at sciforums is an idiot ;)

Usually for one person to call another an "idiot" would mean that the name-caller is trying to shield an insecurity of his/her own, so there is no need to feel bad.

That is an unwise, trolling answer.

That is an unwise, trolling answer.Huh??? I'm always suspicious of people who tell me how great they are but they haven't accomplished anything. Whether it's engineering, composing music, or pickin' up chicks. Great ideas work, that's one of their most essential characteristics.

And it's certainly possible for a person to be genuinely smart, but to have been guided into the wrong career or course of study. He might have some clever ideas, but since he's out of his element they have too many flaws and therefore, they're not so great.
