IQ tends to be tested under exam conditions, involving no verbal communication but in life I believe we are judged by friends and peers on our communication skills and ability to talk around subjects and express our thoughts verbally.


Which is more valuable skill in life, strong analytical/logical skills, or verbal communication skills.

I would say that verbal skills are more important, for exactly the reasons PGC said.


Sadly enough, I think I'm fairly intelligent in an analytical sort of way, but I'm resorting to "what she said" on a forum. Oh dear, that proves my point.


And if anyone has any tips on how to persuade people, I'm listening...

If you were, eg, a rocket scientist and had to work out the best trajectory to the moon, you'd probably want more than Ted max or honaloochie like verbal skills to poetically and memorably say, 'right, i'd like this big pointy thing to go to the big round light in the sky'.


The worlds big, there's room for all sorts of intelligence, and if you believe the press then it would seem even Rooney Gazza was a genius apparently!!

Seen, geez.

I think he already had a comedic streak, MP.

Have you not heard his version of The Fog On The Tyne?

It's genuinely and intentionally funny to my ears.

Seems to a large number of them in Westminster anyways.

hmm intelligence imo is the ability to understand information and to then reinterpret it. Genius is the ability to rewrite it and the ability to commmunicate it is just well...good communication skills.


But seeing as we live in a world where having a big pair of bristols will earn you more having a first class maths degree then who really gives a f*ck.

Well, a first class physics degree won't necessarily make you a millionaire, even if you did invent the web.


But knowing some shit about shit, even if that means dropping out of university, can be pretty lucrative - just ask Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg.

    • Just wanted to come on and give the very highest of recommendations for the service I received from Nunhead Carpets.  Not only did Vince (shop manager) open up shop again for us when we arrived late, on spec to see samples, and talk us through all the options but Darren, who then came to fit the new carpet and underlay on five flights of stairs and two landings, has done an incredible job going beyond expectations.  Expert work from a real pro, arrived on the dot, worked hard and left everything looking wonderful.  I cannot speak more highly of this service and will use them again in a whisper.
    • My first action would be of course to go onto social media.  Or maybe not 😉
    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
