You know it may tell how smart you are but not how wise you are. I deal with so many morons with high IQ's every day it isn't even funny. They often are not considerate of other peoples time and act like they are the only people in the world. Other problem is they are often poor communicators, they send request with no instructions and expect you to be able to read there minds from a poorly written e-mail, as if they are the only request I ever need to deal with. I recently sent a somewhat nasty e-mail at work to one such person, it has been ongoing for some time now and he needed to be put in his place as I am not the only person who has problems with the way he conducts himself, kind of procastinates as well, stalling everybody elses work. I of course cc'd my boss as well. I would go into a detailed rant but I will just say he has very poor project management skills, and is inconsiderate of other peoples time that he deals with. He is a genius otherwise high IQ.
