Studies of adopted children show that their IQ was extremely similar to the one of their biological parents, and not of the adoptive ones (even the temperament was shown to resemble much more the one of the biological parents, even when the child were never introduced to them); the IQ and personality of the adoptive kids always resemble much more the one of the biological parents, even when such children are raised in an environment totally different from the one in which their fathers were created.

Actually I read it in a book by an American neuroscientist (I have the book at home, and I'm at work: I don’t remember his name). It is remarkable how the author tries to sound politically correct, without offending anyone or making racist assumptions. But he reports the facts and quotes a portion of sources (it is a large book: it’s a college course companion for neuroscience and psychology).

I do not understand this need to acknowledge that all people are equal. People are different, but that does not mean that someone deserves to either to die or to become king. The author of the book shows that all people, reared in an atmosphere of love and support, will be able to become productive and healthy humans.

However, people are different and there are different levels of capability.

In addition, more than mere intelligence (whatever it is, because until today there os no scholarly consensus), there are many other things that influence major achievements: extreme ambition and the desire to be recognized; certain personality traits (especially the obsessive); have started to exercise an activity early in life as a hobby but, over time, want to make it a profession or want to gain influence through social achievements in this field (is a normal trait of great scientific and artistic genius that they start on their field by having pleasure and fun in creating and studding, but when they start to become professional the pleasure is replaced by anxiety and a tiring routine and daily ritual of work); desire to compensate for a deficiency (real or imaginary) through accomplishments, and other things.

If you are tall, and do not climb to the tops of the most difficult trees, your height is worthless.

IQ is a measurement of your potential for intellectual achievement. It is a test that bundles together [supposedly] fundamental cognitive tasks, measured over a relatively short period of time. Even to say that it tests "general" intelligence is a stretch, since there is not a perfect correlation between general achievement and people who are measured as having high IQs. Most people are only capable of specializing in their field of interest. IQ functions more as a gateway to each field that you would like to specialize in. And even that isn't necessarily true, because some people just have a talent for being a doctor, or a lawyer, or a mathematician, regardless of their IQ, and some of them make damn good doctors/lawyers/mathematicians because they are built for it, regardless of their IQ.

So yeah, unless you're a polymath/start-up marathoner inventor auto-dictat, you should really shut the fuck up about your high IQ since you literally have nothing to show for it besides your test score. IQ doesn't determine what you do, or even how you do it. IQ is at best a measurement of a person's ability to naturally reason abstractly under stress, which is important to living and achievement, but not the ONLY thing that matters, especially when reasoning under stress [like anything else] can be learned.

Also: more than 2000 characters; plays that address many different topics (he never repeated a success formula, but was always changing and challenging himself) and that are still read and watched by many people around the world.

I never said he was the greatest (although he is certainly a contender).

I would highly suggest you refrain from using the word "plebeian" if you don't find quality in Shakespeare.

For me metaphors and imagery are, by far, the greatest and most important tool in a poetic arsenal. Poets who are devoid of the ability to create metaphors, and try to build a more concrete poetry, focusing more on the message of the poem than in its pure beauty are, in my view, people who want to be poets, but who do not have the gift.

One of the more correct things that Aristotle said was:

>But the greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor. It is the one thing that cannot be learnt from others; and it is also a sign of genius, since a good metaphor implies an intuitive perception of the similarity in dissimilars.

Shakespeare possessed the ability to create metaphors and similes in the highest degree I've ever encountered. While other poets take pride in one or two original metaphor in a good poem, Shakespeare stacks one metaphor after the other, an image stomping another before they have time to breathe. Like Samuel Johnson stated:

>The work of a correct and regular writer is a garden accurately formed and diligently planted, varied with shades, and scented with flowers; the composition of Shakespeare is a forest, in which oaks extend their branches, and pines tower in the air, interspersed sometimes with weeds and brambles, and sometimes giving shelter to myrtles and to roses; filling the eye with awful pomp, and gratifying the mind with endless diversity. Other poets display cabinets of precious rarities, minutely finished, wrought into shape, and polished unto brightness. Shakespeare opens a mine which contains gold and diamonds in unexhaustible plenty, though clouded by incrustations, debased by impurities, and mingled with a mass of meaner minerals.

No other writer does this; no other writer has this constantly effervescent flow of images.

137 when I was last tested (mandatory by order of the school's "gifted" program, aged 14), though I've read that IQ can deteriorate over time... And I've had a lot of booze since high school. I had a 1580/1600 on the SAT and a 35 on the ACT, and I scored 174 on the LSAT three years ago.

But, as the teacher who ran the gifted program in my elementary school liked to say, "Your 'I will' matters more than your 'IQ".

Yeah right "no match." Seriously it's so fucking sad with Shakespeare, each and every cunt can praise him in the most lavish, ridiculous hyperboles and by that shower themselfs in their great understanding and delicate taste. In literature their really is no supposedly humble bow to a great author so rich in fakeness - here Shakespeare is really without comparison.

Assburger
Internet IQ test result, 162
But he's still not getting laid
Quite assburger
He only communicates in literary language
In the eyes he does not glance
When he gets the diagnosis from a doctor, naturally he just utters a laughter
He does not receive invites to parties, we wouldn't attend them anyway, our assburger
He does not notice the sarcasm at all, if he is ridiculed

All the ladies he seduces, when he gives lectures about computers
Of course he deserves a hero's song, remembers all the train schedules
Assburger
Tell him all the best jokes,
At the wrong part he will laugh
He just laughs
At your face he will just laugh
Just laugh
