I'm a little surprised to hear how easily he was 'defeated' and 'prevented' from having a family. A man like that could have started any number of small businesses, we've had how-to materials on that subject for decades. Maybe he wasn't smart enough to know that every project starts at the bottom and works its way up? A good girlfriend would have helped him take the necessary steps if it meant a stable marriage. Evidently, you CAN be too smart for your own good!
There are all manner of intelligences. I have met many high IQ types over the years that have been complete emotional retards and have no common sense. Being smart requires a more complete package of various intelligences. There are several types of IQ tests out there. I have had a few myself. They all use different matrices and are looking for differences that are deemed "intelligence." So to me, having the label of high IQ does not necessarily equate to having smarts.

Starting a business takes more than IQ.

I think being able to adapt is one of the most important skills.
How can we fight against our own Biases?
This is important to success.
ty Mr. Obvious. Hence my last sentence. He only saw the various ways it wouldn't work instead of pursuing the ways it would.
You are welcome Mrs. Factual
Now kith.
