Is Leonard Nimoy really especially intelligent?

[Gowen]

Financial success is real easy, spend less than you make.  Investing money, that is another subject.  I've gotten lucky and I've lost my socks.  I've bought Coca-Cola cheap and my some money.  I bought another stock cheap and did not sell when it went up and lost money.  I've learned some since then.

BTW Thinking that Leonard Nimoy is especially intelligent is like thinking that Alex Trebek is especially intelligent.  They are actors and they play their part well.  As said, they would probably be in the Hollywood Mensa club for their lack of foot in mouth disorder.

Gowen, the only reason I was asking is that he appears to either be type cast as a brainy type, or perhaps actually is. It would seem he's not dumb.

I don't regret not making more money, but I do regret not going on more adventures.

I've never been into making money for the sake of making money. However, money is necessary for most everything I like to do or would like to do.

As for him being smart enough to become an actor, which is what he wanted to do, there's something to that. I wanted very much to become a professional photographer. There's lots of people who would like to, and fewer who do. I was very proud of that. It was glorious while it lasted.

No disrespect intended.  They are type cast well.  As far as making money, I really don't have squat and in a week, the only money coming in will be by my own hands.

I've been self employed, and let me tell you that it is hard to spend less than some negative amount

Financial success ain't everything.

A lot of that "kind of smarts" is understanding people, which I never have.  I went into business thinking people were like me, which they most definitely are not. :(

Let me guess.  Up in the INTJ corner, with the rest of us misfits.

Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense.

Speak for yourself. INFP here.

Oh dear God, YES!

I understand that they don't, and that they never will.  Doesn't change the fact that I *WANT* them to.

Which means that I make no more sense than they do, wanting people to change their fundamental nature.

OH, they make sense.  Just not the kind of sense we want them to.

Like I said...
