(be aware this thread holds alot of "generalising")
at school nerds often get bugged for beeing so smart, and having low social intelligence.
why is that?
why can't a person be smart in both areas?
I have given this some thought latly, and this is what I come up with. I don't know how to explain it. but I will take it up by examples.
a computer nerd.
first of all. what does a computer nerd care about? most likely computers and school. so then we have two subjects to discuss. and nerds usually dont care about discussing other things then their "own inner object". which in this case is a computer.
so let us put the computer nerd with a stupid person.
Stupid person: "what's wrong with my computer"
Computer Nerd: "your BIOS isn't updated"
stupid: "???"
Nerd: "you have to update you BIOS"
Stupid: How do you do that
Nerd: "you do this and that...."
you can see this would evolve to a one sided discussion. because the smart person would always have right. so there is no need for the stupid person to say something, cuz the smart one is always right. and is there one fact I know about people today, and that is that most people love to talk and love to take the mid point in the discussion. so if a stupid person would like to talk to someone. it better not be a nerd, cuz when a dumb person will just end up on listning to the smart one.
so what happens if we put up a nerd with a nerd?
easy. they will say hey and learn eachother names. and then be friends. because they allready know that the other person is smart, and therefore silence
so what happens if we put up a dumb person with a dumb person?
Dumb 1: Hi wazzap?
Dumb 2: did you hear?
Dumb 1: hear what?
Dumb 2: cleo did it with michelle!
Dumb 1: Noway!!
Dumb 2: its true!
Dumb 1: you gotta be kidding?
Dumb 2: no seriously!
well a dumb person can have a long discussion over something that is very very small, and can drag it out to the mere future. and that is called "High Social Intelligence"...... in school atleast
