Very true... I get frustrated when I hear stuck up people claim;" im more intelligent than you, I am so much smarter."
Then I retaliate by asking;" okay if you are so bright, what are your talents? Are you a published writer, what specific things do you do that makes you supposedly so much smarter? And they come up empty-handed.. Because there is lacking of real talent and they are incapable of applying this supposed intelligence anywhere. And thus it is nothing more than smoke in the mirror.

Their talent is intelligence. The problem is without gathering skills with this intelligence its a waste of being naturally adept to whatever it is that they are a genius in. Geniuses a better when put to the test. If challenged they tend to be the ones to push the envelope.
Yeah, I agree, there are a lot of Intelligent people who waste it, because even though you're a genius, it doesn't mean one is blessed with common sense. In fact this is why EQ is actually very important today compardd to IQ. People who have a high EQ level tend to attract more people and make more money.

My point was claiming to be intelligent, without giving subtstantial proof or evidence as to why they are so much more intelligent than the person standing next to them. Thats like claiming to be a musical genius without ever having written a song or constructed a melody.
and there are plenty of these people. I believe intelligence is vague when it comes to meassurement, and the proposed methods are most often based on wild guesses.
