Sommerauer71: Some wit, some humour, some hardships and a great night in the sack...
Makes the day run smoothly, with some laughs and a job well done, then a goodnight from my children, and that is all the intelligence I need...
And I am being deathly serious.
Great! Thanks Sommer, for being the first to vote!
Personally I cant make up my own mind which I am ..... Sometimes I`m one type, and then another day I`m something else ..... its my chameleon-like personality I guess?!
Practical (takes things apart/puts together again)
Intuitive (seeing what others cant see)
Interpersonal(wit & ability to get things done) All of these to varying degrees as they are needed. I suppose I am adaptable.
Hi Ginger ... I thought so! But you left out the musical one ...... I bet you somehow also have some musical abilities?! Give you a drum and you`ll beat out a good rythm!

Strange that you should mention drums. yes I do play bodhran. I seem to be able to manage rhythm, but can't for the life of me, remember sequences for notes. Languages too need good memory and I forget too easily, to know more than a few words or sentences in any language. Maybe languages and musical skills come from the same part of the brain........

Well Smoky, you have invoked some thoughts in my mind...
I cannot really make up my mind, either, I am responding on how I feel today, tomorrow, I could be completely different....
If I ask my dad to divorce my lovely stepmother, I would send him in your direction, just so I could listen to your ramblings and talk with you...
You could marry my dad, there are not many I would say that about.

The way you are, ginger, so nice, smart and Irish... I think men could be intimidated. What do you do when you know you know more than your man and you have to look silly to please him?
I'm dumb and stupid....when they feed me properly, and let me out of my box once in a while, I have my moments in the sun....but these are the exception....Someone once told me, to be an artist, one had to suffer....well, my question is, how much does one have to suffer before they call you an artist??...heck, I'd rather be a fisherman...all you have to do is catch fish....you don't have to reinvent the Universe....
smoky: LANGUAGE SKILLS! Gee, that is one that I wish I possessed! I have to devote all my energy to getting my brain imprinted ......
Realy Quiri?! How many do you speak?
I have been lucky to take a degree in Spanish and live in Spain for a few years, then Italian sort of comes easy to me from knowing Spanish (common root) and living in Italy..and a little French from interest and travel. I am also a language teacher by profession..so I kind of spend time thinking about how to speak other languages.
jbibiza: I would have to say that I´m a combination of practical, intuitive and interpersonal... but have very little intelligence in the other areas.
Hi Jbibiza ...... Everyone is different - You can shine in 5, or 2, or 1, makes no difference ..... its all personal observations. Thanks for participating.
...And I love the way you write, reading your posts in other threads....
Mirodenia: The way you are, ginger, so nice, smart and Irish... I think men could be intimidated. What do you do when you know you know more than your man and you have to look silly to please him?
Or not...
Well that's your intuitive intelligence sorted Miro. You have oodles of that for sure!!!
You are right though. Many men are intimidated by what they perceive as an intelligent woman.
Never did learn to please a man by looking silly........
Strikes me as game playing........
Probably why I don't have a man........
My ex used my intelligence to make fun of me. He hated intelligent women. I laughed with him, but the joke was on him in the end because I left him and had enough intelligence not to go back.
Ah well! ... Did you vote in the last box? "Something completely different"?
See - its not a complete list - just the common ones!
Like I forgot Miros "Stupid Box" .. wherein I would fit myself on most days! Sometimes its good to be stupid - then other people do all the work ..... except then I get to clean up the mess!

Yeppers,they tried all through School,and later! Even I tried,at least for a while.

Thank you Smoky... I guess that makes us part of a mutual admiration society...
The linguistic intelligence is probably the one I lack the most in... 5 years in Spain and I can speak like a two year old... with just enough words to deal with my distributors and staff...get what I need in the shops etc. having a proper conversation is still light years away for me... very frustrating!!!
It's a guy thing, right??....if they had breast-fed us properly when we were babies, they wouldn't have to deal with our trauma now, right??...it's all their fault....
guiriman: I agree with the sentiment. I would say have intelligence - whatever else - and preferably have bbs too.

Howz that for intelligence?
Yes, I`m the same. Sometimes I try to ignore anything requiring the use of intelligence - and then when things are about to get out of control - I heave a sigh and call upon my intelligence that I keep buried deep and out of sight, and this amazing force arises and takes control and sorts everything out - and then retreats to its hiding place to slumber again.
Thanks for saying I could marry your Dad, but I think he sounds like a nice person, so do not wish that on him - rather let him stay married to your lovely step-mom........he surely deserves a peaceful existence!
