Speaking of IQ my older brother (my moms favorite) was a electronic wiz kid in the 60s/70s, had a photo graphic memory when it came to schematics and such. Mom could not talk enough about him to everyone proclaiming how the air-force recruited him due to his skills and all the special top secret projects he worked on and such.
I have always been more mechanically inclined, working on cars and doing physical type work cutting wood, construction, drywall and factory work. Somehow it morphed into PCs/computers then severs and now routers/networking.
About 5 years ago we both took a series of the same IQ test just for fun. My mom could not, would not believe it when the results showed my IQ was just a little higher than his. He is smart in a specific field but I have a much broader range. I have configured and built ever PC he has owned and he cant hardly install a CD drive if his life depended on it. lol
Even after he told mom it was true and tried to explain why she just couldn't believe it. LOL Good think I have never been bothered by things like that or I may have felt 2nd best? I did grow up believing he must be some kind of genius. He is 18 years older so I was never around him growing up and he moved out of state when I was 1? It's funny how time/age changes a lot of perspectives.
