    Wisdom vs Intelligence. There’s also something to be said about being knowledgeable in your field and thinking you’re knowledgeable in all fields

      Also IQ is not intelligence. I’m seeing more and more posts from people who talk about IQ like it’s their real-life INT stat. Is this just an American thing? Do people use the terms interchangeably or are you guys all doing IQ tests regularly and ranking yourselves by how good you are at puzzles?

        To be fair I never mentioned IQ. I was just trying to make a joke. You can take it up with the original greenposter.

      Yup that right there is the core of this issue, happens to the best of us.

      Fortunately it doesn’t happen to me, I’m a CS expert but also a sociology expert so I know how to distinguish it

        It’s late for me, so maybe I’m not getting your joke. I was implying that intelligence was used for the math degree and lack of wisdom in buying scratchers. I was also trying to reference an oft quoted DnD Stat meme;

        Strength is being able to crush a tomato

        Dexterity is being able to dodge a tomato

        Constitution is being able to eat a bad tomato

        Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit

        Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad

        Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad
