Not Necessarily. Anyways, From Your Comments, I'd Guess Your IQ To Be Around 110-120, If Indeed Your Personal Measure Of Your Intelligence Corresponds With Your Actual Score. And 140 Is Generally Considered A Low-Level Genius, FYI = ) I'll Agree Completely That It's Worthless To Compare...I Posted For The Sake Of Posting, LOL. And IQ Tests Really Are Crap, As Far As I'm Concerned. You Can Have A Reading Level Of A Fourth Grader And Get A Somewhat Remarkable Score As Long As You Can Spot A Pattern. That Is Idiotic. But That's Our Standard.
pretty much my favorite spice, and i use it in virtually everything. too much and its out of place in many dishes, but with some its great. since i like it so much i have to really restrain myself if i put in salsa, cause it can only stand to have a little bit, or the bright and fresh taste of all the veggies will be changed drastically, and it will have too strong an earthy underflavor. so be careful, but a little bit is nice in most foods...and a lot in others now when i put fresh garlic in there, same thing can happen as with using white or red onions raw. so i tend to roast it first to help achieve a sweeter, mellower garlic flavor. also using the press helps ensure no huge chunks of it escaping the blades of the blender...i dont ALWAYS roast it, but usually i do.
I almost always roast garlic. I've gotten to the point where I grill as much as I bake if I can. You ever grilled up a pizza? it's out of this world. Last time I made a grilled spinach alfredo pizza.
I feel like I am bright but I dont know how smart I am if that makes sense. I feel like I know nothing and am constantly curious and want to listen to everybody else with wide eyes so I do that.
according to the testing i was subjected to, my siblings and i all tested within 5 points of a higher number than you guessed, but like i said i dont actually know what that means in relation to the "average." there is no internationally recognized and accurate measure of intelligence of which i am aware. there are plethora of different tests, all of which are at least reasonably accurate within the target culture, and cultural context must be accounted for. the nature of what is actually tested for depends GREATLY on whats deemed important by said culture. and literacy is by no means a gauge for intelligence. a person may in fact have a reading abilities below a fourth grade level and be a complete genius. reading is a learned skill and takes practice, not any significant amount of intelligence. it may take more work for some than others to learn phoenetics and the alphabet and to build a substantial vocabulary, but it is simply a skill. it may be easier to me to learn to read than another man, but its likely going to be easier for him to learn the rules of basketball or football than for me (great example, actually, sports completely astound and confuse me. i can never tell whats going on, and have given up quite some time ago) just because i may read more easily than this hypothetical man doesnt mean he couldnt explain complex rules to a game in great detail as well as recognize, utilize, or create effective strategy and skills. it takes some intelligence to do everything, but lack of a certain ability does not always reflect lack of intelligence. reading is no different, despite conventional wisdom. many whole cultures have been without writing. they weren't inherently less intelligent simply because they couldnt read or write. they just didnt develop that skill.
