I took degrees in psychology, and sociology, supposedly HAD an IQ of 148, or at least high enough to get into Mensa ( I used to be fast, but now I am just half fast...--- and it still took me 40 years, several of them with a therapist, to find out that I was ADD and chronically depressed. I tend to think most of us are not aware of not just our incompetences, but many other factors about our personalities as well. Analogous, I suposse to passing gas in a crowded room. The 'passer' never really notices, even if folk around him (or her) are dropping like flies! I can at least thank the LUG for keeping me informed. If I perchance do something that doesn't pass for roses, I know that the LUG will not let it go without a comment! Dan ( Boy!, if my third grade teacher could only see me now!)
