I once read a study claiming that a gap of more than 30 IQ points renders conversation and interaction almost useless between two people.

Has anyone seen this?

No, but I think that would explain why OOT is what it is.

She's smarter than me, not by much though.

I have the clear edge on laziness, though.

I have about 12 years worth of schooling more than my wife. She is actually very smart though. It is kind of refreshing when we debate a topic because her views are less influenced(?) although still intelligent. Does that make any sense??

[/ QUOTE ]No.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.

I'm a lot less smart than my girlfriend. She was like a National Merit Scholarship Finalist and I was like the biggest [censored] slacker ever. Still am.

[/ QUOTE ]

These two things are not mutually exclusive. All you have to do to become a National Merit Finalist is do well on a multiple-choice test. Well, basically.

I'll let OOT be the judge...is it:

a:
Bachelor's degree in Finance - UCLA
MBA - Stanford

-or-

b:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering - UC-Berkeley
MSCS - San Jose State

[/ QUOTE ]

I think (b) is the favorite, but not by much. (a) could easily be smarter and just have different interests. If I have to pick, I pick (b).

She's dumb as a brick. Obviously, she has to be to put up with my dumb ass.

Either that or she's brilliant and is conducting an experiment in social engineering or something.

I've never seen this, but I would LOVE to read it. I can see where it may be very true.
