[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are both in the scary smart range.  DC1 is scary smart, and DC2 is smart, but not in an over the top way.  [b]Guess which child is better socialized, has more friends, has had fewer behavior issues, does not have ADHD, and is generally happier and better adjusted?[/b] *sigh* smart's nice, but we've certainly discovered that it's a small part of the happy and successful life equation.

Hahahaha, ooo, ooo, pick me, I know this one! ... because I kind of live this one.  :)

Not sure of DH's IQ, but at his high school reunion, everyone I met told me, "Your husband was the smartest guy in our class!" According to Wikipedia, my IQ puts me in the "Very Gifted or Highly Advanced" bracket (Stanford-Binet). And about those kids...

DS1 is also wicked smart, has always acted above his age. Other adults have approached me to talk about him, as he's never been shy about having complicated conversations with them (especially abstract concepts, or anything scientific). But DS2 is also ridiculously clever and quick, and actually scored [i]higher[/i] than his older brother on the FCPS standardized tests (NNAT and CogAT). BUT DS2 is less in-your-face about his innate intelligence, and I'm pretty sure he thinks he's not as smart as his big brother. (We aren't planning to show them their scores, as it really shouldn't affect how hard they work in school. I don't want them thinking they can just coast. Hard work is its own reward, yadda yadda yadda.) [/quote]
