[quote=Anonymous]My husband is EXTREMELY smart in the realm of like math/reasoning/STEM. He has a very high IQ. I struggle with the things that come easiest to him, but I am far smarter at relationships/people.

It bothers him that people think of him as the smart/erudite one of the two of us as he believes (and I think this is true!) that I am very smart also just in ways less traditionally labeled as 'intelligent'.

I do think though that while are strengths lie in different arenas we do have a similar level of baseline intelligence that allows us to kind of be on each other's level. I might struggle with math and spatial visioning, but when we debate a political topic or something we are at the same level of reasoning and logic and comprehension. I think it would be difficult to be with someone who was on a very different level.

But that said everyone is right, your degrees and where they came from are not conclusive proof of intelligence, it should be evident in your interactions whether or not you are similar enough to be compatible. [/quote]
