[quote=Anonymous]OP, what are the "smarts" you wish he had?  There's IQ, which isn't necessarily a blessing in and of itself.  Then there's common sense, which could also be called life skills.  Then there's intelligence to the extent that someone is interesting to talk to about things/debate stuff with.  Then there are also tons of other categories, like good with trivial facts, good at dealing with people, etc.  Those are more "skills" than "smarts" but my point is I think there are a lot of facets to being "smart."  There's also a good work ethic, which can sometimes compensate for a lack of smarts (conversely you can be smart but lazy).

Your post seems to be less about IQ smarts and more about planning/functioning skills, which aren't the same thing as smarts (and in fact, a lot of high IQ people have trouble with things like organizing/planning).  I guess I'm just not sure what it is about him that you think makes him a doofus.  If he's just all around dumb, unmotivated, lazy, and clueless, then I'm sorry.  [/quote]
