Re: Q of the D

We are well matched, excel in different areas. We went to the same college...and although I have my masters and he does not we are pretty much the same. I would guess if we had an IQ test we would be within a few points of one and other. In some ways I think DH is much smarter, but then there are areas that I excel in so I say even

I think its pretty even with us. Its funny though bc the things that I am horrible at, like math, DH is a wiz at. I can barely add

same here - DH is good with numbers, he understands things that have to do with finance - like 401ks, stocks, loans, bonds, mutual funds, hedgefunds, he gets all of that stuff and i can barely grasp the concept of it.....but certain things he is clueless about - the other day i joked around and called him and our dog my minions and he told me he never heard that word before and he is a terrible speller!

DH knows so much, it's ridiculous. I think I'm smarter in terms of if we were to run a business and how to market something, that type of stuff. he can't spell for sh1t either lol. But when it comes to general knowledge, he knows too much



Poor spellers usually have very high IQ's b/c they don't care about the mundane details like that.



I guess I have a low IQ

Re: Q of the D

I think as far as IQ - we are probably the same

However - I feel that DH has been challenged in his job, masters program and just in life and it has caused him to advance and just be a more well-rounded, well-spoken individual. Does that make sense? So he may come off as smarter but maybe we are just really the same. And he will not ever say he is smart, but I think he is verrry smart and very savvy!

I think generally speaking we are equal. We are both stronger at different areas.

Who is more rational and logical? DH.

It’s so funny that you posted this because DH and I were talking about this the other day. I am more educated then DH but to some extent I think he is smarter. I guess it really depends on the subject. Anything to do with numbers he is definitely much smarter. I am better with spelling and vocab

Re: Q of the D

We both have the same amount of education. But he kicks asss at Millionaire. He knows the geography and political crap and I know the celebrity crap.

But I take care of most things like bills and I know more life stuff like houses and mortgages. I am even the computer setter upper and fixer between us (usually a guy thing)

I think we are just smarter at different things.

DH is very tech smart and savvy with things.. I'm street smart (or I'd like to think).. we're both book smart.. him more since he gets the math, science and literature stuff.. i can do math and physics in my sleep.. but i can't write if my life depended on it.. it's terrible..

Re: Q of the D

I think we're both the same in all honesty. HE always says that I'm the smart one and that he hopes our kids take after ME academically. But I don't know if I agree. His spelling stinks, but other than that he's pretty darn smart.

We each have our own strong areas and weaknesses. So i'm good with things that he's not and he's good with things that I'm not. I guess that's why we're such a perfect match!

Re: Q of the D

I think I am more book smart but DH is so smart in other ways like mechanical/computer stuff and coming up with good ideas for certain things....of course I can't think of any ex right now

Re: Q of the D

It depends on the subject i guess. I do think DH is smarter in some ways lol I won't let him know that, but then with certain things I think I am. He takes it with Math though bc he amazes me with that but he also writes very well too and impresses me with that, and then he is great with fixing things, mechanical things and all that, well he is an engineer so he has to be, and he is great with movie knowledge, he shocks me with the stuff he knows lol, and sports it amazes me bc he knows college players, HS players, anything that happened many many years ago and just about every sports player. But if its useless information Oh i got that one

street smarts, i think we're both equal on this one.
